Do September's Green Thing. Walk the Walk.
If we all drove a little less and walked a little more, the world would be a lot nicer place to live.
Powered by your legs and a hearty breakfast, walking burns no fossil fuel and causes no CO2 emissions but still gets you from A to B. Slower? Well, sometimes. In a better state of mind? Nearly always.
So walk the walk instead of driving the drive. It’s much better for the environment, and as an added bonus will help you burn off any excess donuts/glasses of wine/Cornish pasties you might have consumed.
And don’t forget to let us know when you’ve DONE IT so that we can work out how much CO2 pavement-pounding Green Thing members have saved this month.
Things to tempt you to put one foot in front of the other…
Amazing things can happen when you walk. And you might meet someone you haven’t seen for ages. Watch the video and see.
A mix of new tunes specially written to a walking beat by Howie B, Alucidnation, Roger Eno and others.

Hi jjr - have a look at the 'Do More' actions (http://www.dothegreenthing.com/green_actions/walk_once/more) which also has suggestions for driving less (car sharing, and so on).
I'm disabled and can only walk on the flat for 3 minutes. Any ideas for the disabled?
everyone can do it not just you and me
