Walking
When you make the decision to travel under your own power, you're making a healthy choice. Swap a short trip in the car for a walk ie when you get the milk or bread from the local shops.
Good for your wallet
Walking is FREE transport! It makes good sense to walk instead of using your car for short journeys. The least fuel efficient car trip is a short one.
