So does that mean that sitting on the couch is more environmentally friendly than exercising?

  No it means not eating is more environmentally friendly.

    The food you eat will turn to CO2 one way or another. If you let your food become fat rather than CO2, that fat will eventually turn into CO2 after you die.

      Seal yourself in concrete after you die -- for the environment.

        Alas, cement production releases a lot of CO2. Maybe seal yourself in glass (made with entirely renewable energy, of course)?

          bury yourself in peat

  No, but turning the thermostat down a bit can be (though worse in summer). You can use up a lot of energy just keeping warm.
