I just imagined having to drive every day, and it was an angry thought.


30 minutes to work, 30 minutes back home, 4 days a week! Not a bit of traffic, aside from school buses or tractors! It's relaxing, and a great time to catch up on podcasts, lectures, or just do some karaoke! And the views are gorgeous!

Just earlier today I stopped in the middle of the road on my way home just to stare in awe at the sunset beaming across the sky onto a huge, billowing, fluffy cloud that was kissing the horizon, rolling green pastures dotted with cows basking in the fading sunlight. I really do underappreciate the beauty of rural living!


Takes all kinds to fill a world, I suppose. I don't think I'd like that commute at all. Too long and requires attention so you can't read.


For the curious, that's something like 15000 km, around 2t CO2.


And how about with an electric vehicle?


Still around 15000km, I'd imagine.


Oh nice, though I imagine the CO2 reduces quite a bit as well.
