Boots Are Made For Walking

We'll keep this one short.

Who's ready for a little challenge?

Rather than bore you with talk of carbon emissions, pollution and unsustainable energy sources, we'll get straight to the point. There have been many studies in recent years regarding how often we use our cars. One survey showed that 75% of people believed that people rely on cars too much, but only 30% of people admitted that they could be just as guilty as everyone else. Maybe it's time to take ownership of our responsibilities and try to cut back.

Challenge yourself to leave your car at home at least once a week. Should be doable, right? You could walk to the corner shop, do the school run on foot or cycle to work. By starting simple you can always build up over time. What starts as once a week, could gradually become a car free day, or even a car free weekend... ​
