Active Travel Across Barnet
Alternative travel options to your local leisure centre, such as walking, cycling, or using public transport, can play a significant role in helping Barnet take a step towards to being a net zero carbon borough. By reducing the number of cars on the road, you can reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are released into the atmosphere, which in turn can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Walking or cycling to your local leisure centre is not only a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, but it's also a healthy and enjoyable way to get some exercise. However, for those who may not be able to walk or cycle long distances, make the most of public transport which is accessible for everyone.
Another fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint, public transport systems, such as buses and trains, are generally much more energy-efficient than cars and can carry a larger number of people, which reduces the overall carbon footprint per person.
By using alternative travel options, you can help your Barnet to take a step towards becoming net zero carbon borough, which is essential if we are to mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, it's important to remember that this is just one piece of the puzzle, and that we all need to work together to reduce our carbon footprints in every aspect of our lives.
