Natural Travel

For everyday business one can split self transportation into

1. Unassisted i.e. walking, jogging, running
2. Non-energy assisted i.e. roller skating, push scooters, cycling
3. Re-newable Energy Assisted i.e. draft animals, machines
4. Non-renewable Energy Assisted

We can immediately exclude Category 4 from consideration here because that mode of transportation is what is contributing to the destruction of the environment.

To make full use of Category 1, which is best used for moving around in the space nearest to us, we really need to ensure that this is planned into how we layout our living spaces. At the moment we do not do that.

Category 2 extends the amount of space that is covered by Category 1 transportation but only for those who are able to use these mechanical assists. Again at the moment our planning in many places does not cater for bicycles etc etc.

Tansportation otside of the areas covered by Categories 1 and 2 really requires Category 3 transportation.

The draft animal assists of Category 3 are fine but they are slow, they only extend the area covered by Categories 1 and 2 by a certain amount and tney need space and feeding which, with the ever increasing number of humans using up the space and food, will become a bigger and bigger problem.

For the maximum coverage we are left with the machines of Category 3. Machines that get their energy from renewable sources.
