Here are 5 things you might not know about walking:
• It’s easy to think you’re protecting the kids from fumes by keeping them inside the car. But pollution inside can be up to three times the level it is outside on the pavement – so step out and enjoy the fresh air!
• If we all swapped one car journey a week for walking, car traffic would reduce by at least 10%.
• The average person could save £160 every year by walking instead of driving the journey to school – just think what fun you could have with that extra money...
• Walking just 1 mile burns over 100 calories!
• About a third of all the journeys we make are less than a mile. A mile is only about a 20 minute walk.
