    Well, I wouldn’t say TRULY zero impact. There are some things that would still contribute such as the need for more calories and also the work we would exert making pollution from ourselves, but it is still 10,000x more beneficial than what we have with cars or horses.

    Honestly, horses may even be worse because you don’t really turn them off like cars. Depending on how often you drive, horses may wind up causing even more pollution than if you just drove.

    Also, horses are really, REALLY expensive, not just in initial cost either, and their legs are like glass.

    Not defending cars at all BTW, just supporting what you said on horses.
