Walk

If you’re lucky enough to live within a mile or two of your workplace, walking is a fantastic and sustainable alternative to driving. Not only does it offer numerous health benefits, but it also contributes to a cleaner and more enjoyable environment.

Explore why walking to work is a great choice:

• Boost your fitness: Walking is a fantastic low-impact exercise that gets your heart rate up and strengthens your entire body.
• Reduce stress: Leave the daily commute frustrations behind. Walking allows you to clear your head and start (or end) your day feeling energized.
• Save time and money: Ditch the gas station and parking fees. Walking is free and can actually save you time by bypassing traffic congestion.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: Opting for a walk instead of a car drastically lowers air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.
