I don't know Dettu, you sound like you're doing a lot of walking, and doing your bit.
I live at the top of a hill and there are (overpriced) shops at the foot of it - it's about a 10 min walk downhill and about a 30 minute walk uphill (I haven't done it in a long long time) so it's not something I would think about. And actually I really don't use any of the shops at the foot of the hill, except maybe the chemist when I need a prescription filled, although I am usually doing that on my way home - in the car - from the doctor!
I do try, though, to join up everything I want to do when I'm out so that it's an effective journey.
