How often do you jump in the car to somewhere that’s in walking distance? If you are anything like most people, more often than you should.
Walking saves you money
This is clear and apparent. If you use your car, at the very least, it will cost you petrol. And then there’s the wear and tear that it puts on your car, especially short hops in traffic. There’s also the increased possibility that you will do some expensive damage to your car if you are involved in a collision. If you walk to the shops to run your errands, you are also less likely to buy excess stuff, since you only have two hands to carry it with. If you cut down on a few trips in your car, it will save money that can be put towards the more important things in your life.
Walking saves your health
If you are walking somewhere, I can pretty much guarantee that you will be using some calories. You will also be using your heart and lungs to work a bit harder, keeping them maintained in better condition. If you cut down on a few trips in your car, it will improve your fitness and will probably make your happier.
Walking saves the planet
Transport is a major contributor to the excessive levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning petrol in an internal combustion engine emits xx, yy and zz chemicals that befoul the very air that you breathe. If you cut down on a few trips in your car it will make a difference to the planet that we live on - and the difference will be increased if you start encouraging others to do the same.
Get out of your cars and walk. Pass it on.

Good reminder. Unfortunately, there’s little within walking distance of our house. But I do use public transit and walk from the metro to work.
There is a tiny library, perhaps I should walk over there sometimes (if it’s open when I’m home, I’ll have to check).
I have been walking a lot lately:
1. because I wrecked my car
2. because it is healthy
3. because the weather has been great
I walk all the time because I choose not to own a car. I deliberately chose to live in a walkable neighbourhood with grocery stores, drugstores, bank, metro station all within walking distance. I take public transportation to work. I love this lifestyle because, as you say, it’s good for my health, good for my bank account, and good for the planet.
Or take a Segway, jk. I recommend walking or riding a bike. Your health will thank you!
I try to walk instead of drive whenever possible, not only is it great exercise but better for the environment.
thanks for the information, I am happy to read it
