I must admit it makes me laugh nowadays when I hear people I know talk about how often they go to the gym and how conscious of the impact of climate change and peak oil they are.

Then they head of to their air conditioned gym to expand a hell of a lot of energy on excercises which are 100% inefficient as they don’t create anything at the end.

Why people don’t save their monthly membership fee and get outdoors is beyond me. If they bought themselves an axe and got a pile of rounds (for free) they could chop firewood all day at the end of the day have a pile of firewood to sell or use and eventually arms like a lumberjack.

As any who has ever chopped firewood with an axe will tell you chopping wood with an axe is one of the most exhausting physical excercises in existence.

Then there are the people who won’t run outside and prefer to run in an air conditioned room on a treadmill, which needs electricity derived from oil to operate. Why can’t they just exercise outside and reduce their carbon foot print?

I could rant on about this topic for hours, so I’ll stop now.
