We Walk To School
Walking to destinations allows both adults and children to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines and become more familiar with their suroundings.
Why walking to school is good for you:
- Be on time! You always arrive at the same time, there are no traffic delays when you walk.
- It's healthy - walking to school keeps you fit and healthy, and wakes you up for a day at school.
- Walk 'n' talk - walk with your friends and family, and get talking on the way to school.
- It's free - walking costs nothing, and you get to learn about your local area and wildlife on the way.
- Debra the Zebra and Strider will think very highly of you!
Why walking is good for the environment:
- Safe and cleaner roads - less cars outside make a safer environment for everyone, and less noise (remember snow day?)
- Conserve your environment - walking does not emit any fumes that are bad for everyone's health or cause unnatural global warming.
- Walk once a week - you don't have to walk everyday, but can you imagine how much better the environment would be if everyone committed to walking just once a week?
