You must have the same pedometer as me.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Mine is about 26000 miles. As Royal Mail can ask me to go anywhere, I am guessing that a quick circumference of the earth is about the farthest they can send me.

With all the stairs we have on most of our walks, I'm sure we do a lot less mileage than most. But would people prefer stairs or extra mileage. I know what I'd prefer.

Stairs, do you in on the way up and again on the way down. Had a street the other day every house had a good 35 steps to the front door. You see it mostly on 70s build houses, no common sense back then just slap concrete anywhere & everywhere.
