Change Your World
Topic: Travel
Have you ever wondered how life would be if we travelled in ways that benefited our health and our environment? Would it mean safer roads, cleaner air and a better quality of life?
Well during the week from 1st to 7th July, Change Your World are asking everyone to change just one car trip for something that is better for the environment instead. And if we all give up one car journey during that week, they say we'll reduce car traffic by as much as 10 per cent!
Change your world is run by the leading sustainable transport charity Sustrans. The initiative seems to be gathering support having already got some well know celebrities in on the act including Alistair McGowan and Jon Snow.
The website gives some great reasons to swap cars for alternative forms of transport for those needing a little more inspiration. For example, they advise you use local shops because studies have shown that physical activity can be used to overcome, and even prevent, depression and anxiety. You'll be keeping local shop keepers happy too!
The initiative is a great idea that will raise awareness and use of sustainable transport. So change your world and sign up today... www.changeyourworld.org.uk
