Do You Walk To Work? Or Could You?
Walk To Work Week – Go On, Give It A Try!
It’s the first ever Walk to Work Week – organised by Living Streets, and why don’t you become a part of it? It’s planned for the week of April 27th to 1st May, this year.
We all know that driving short distances to work adds to the rush hour traffic, costs money and isn’t great for the environment – so why not change to walking.
I don’t mean you have to walk all the way to work from home – and we all know that this isn’t even possible for many people these days – but using a combination of walking and public transport can have a huge impact on the environment – and your health!
Why Do It?
Well, I walk to work along the canal and through a park at the moment – although I also have to walk past a building site – I arrive at work after having had my own little adventure!
And my route is a shorter distance than the equivalent drive, so it doesn’t really take any longer to walk!
And driving to work adds to the endless traffic we see in towns and cities - which no-one wants to sit in it – yet many of us choose to drive and ultimately cause it! I hate being stuck in traffic, so I try my best not to cause it.
My theory is that everyone should work close to home anyway, so walking to work shouldn’t be a problem!
Can you walk to work all year – not just the one week?
