Did you know, by choosing to walk instead of drive you cut your greenhouse gas emissions by 75%? Walking is a low cost, healthy, and sustainable commute option.
If you live within a few miles from your destination, consider taking a brisk walk instead of jumping in the car? Or combine walking with a bus ride. You’ll feel good about helping yourself and the environment.
Do you take the most direct route along busy roads? Or do you choose an indirect route on quieter streets with less traffic? It all depends on where you’re going and how much time you have. Select the route that makes the most sense for your travel plans.
When planning your walk, remember that on average, a person walks a 1/4 of a mile in about 5 minutes. So, a one-mile walk should take you about twenty minutes.
