A 50 minute car commute becomes a 2 day haul by pony and trap. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/8264775.stm |

I wonder how much carbon dioxides were generated in: - producing food for the horse - produced by the horse - produced during the caring of the horse (how much to build stables, transporting water, generating medicines etc) - produced in the manufacture of the trap I'd imagine in an earlier time, such a trip could be done in a few hours. In fact, I've just looked it up. Horses generally do 40mph at full pelt (50mph if in short bursts). A 39-mile trip would take roughly an hour provided it was a straight line and the road was suitable. |
