Have you thought about using active travel to help your health & the environment?

Active travel is an excellent and low cost method to take care of yourself. Active travel means getting about in a way that makes you physically active, like walking or cycling. It can be as simple as walking to where you need to go, or part of the way, instead of taking a bus or car. For longer journeys, cycling can be a faster, healthier and more pleasurable method too.

By moving more, you will use more calories to find the energy to walk or cycle, which will help you with weight loss and cardiovascular health. You will also contribute to fewer carbon emissions, which will benefit the environment that we live, work and play in.
