UK, Cars and Food

This report focuses on the rise in the ammount of polution due to a rise in food popularity in the UK. It talks about how 25% of the entire traffic in europe is caused by food related driving, ie; driving to stores, restaurants or other food/eating establishments. The argitextual group is the UK is trying to reduce this by 20% in the next 6 years.

I think any decrease in the ammount of oil used, and pollution created is a step in the right direction. But in the same context, i'd rather see humans traveling for food, then foods traveling thousands of miles by plane, which seems like it would be a much more signifigant issue.
