A Glorious Day to Walk or Bike
Maybe you didn’t know that today is “International Walk or Bike to School Day.” 40 countries are encouraging kids and their parents to walk or bike to school. How often do 40 countries agree on anything?
If you didn’t know or forgot, how about tomorrow (and the next day and the next…)? Get out of your car, put a little neighborhood group together, and get the kids to school and home under their own foot-power. You may get to know a neighbor better, maker some play-dates, decide that J.J. Smythe is a kid you definitely want to keep away from your family–all sorts of things. You and the kids get a little fresh air and exercise. You save gas and wear-and-tear on your car (those stop/starts/jerks of both kinds involved in the drop-off are hard on your car).
Overall, it’s healthy–for you AND for the earth.

“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” (Mahatma Gandhi)
Earth-Friendly Tip: Walk
