minus-squareMotoAsh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoWRONG!! Velomobiles and other man-powered (or nature powered) land vehicles absolutely exist. I’d argue if you’re making the human more efficient than walking, you’re reducing CO2 output compared to simply walking there. If a reduction in human CO2 compared to distance traveled isn’t good for the environment, then nothing is good for the environment.
