But that post missed the main point: North Americans have a moral responsibility to the rest of the world to curb our disproportionate consumption of resources and our environmental impact. My little exercise comparing walking versus driving is fine but in reality we all need to do a lot more. For example, I could lay another 10 inches of insulation in my attic and insulate my basement. The list goes on and on. How much am I really willing to change?
