The purpose of this booklet is to highlight the transport sector's impact on climate as well as it's dependence on fossil fuels. We will discuss how a move towards sustainable transport and movement patterns which depend least on non-renewable and polluting energy sources can start addressing these impacts and the need for a drastic change in transport and land-use planning towards sustainable cities.
This booklet addresses the issue of food miles, which is how far food has travelled to get to you. The transport of food, particularly food travelling long distances, plays a role in global warming, due to fuel use and the release of greenhouse gas emissions.
