Here's today's challenge:
Look for alternatives to using your car. Cycle, walk, run, share lifts with colleagues or use public transportation. A short, four-mile round trip by foot keeps about 15 pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe (WorldWatch Institute). Contact a local ride-share organization such as www.ridebuzz.org. To learn more about the environmental benefits of walking, see the Commuter Choice Program.

I would love to do this more often. Our school, post office, small convenience store and a farm stand are close enough, but - no sidewalks and the roads are narrow. It's a very busy street and I just don't feel safe walking with my children or even alone for that matter. Really wish we had sidewalks!
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate that I live near some shopping centres. 15 minutes walk. If I am shopping for just a little bit ( 2 bags) I walk. Otherwise, I buy my stuff on my way home from walk.
