Cycle to Work for Better Health & Save
We all know our planet is under severe environmental strain. A large contributing factor to our global warming crisis, are the cars we drive on a daily basis, be it to work and back, or just around the corner to the shops.
At the same time, a large percentage of the world’s population are either overweight or obese. Well, there is a solution to both of these problems, and it’s pretty simple…
Depending on where you live and what your lifestyle is, you might be able to get in better shape while improving our planet at the same time – by commuting smarter and healthier.
Like most Western countries, the United States and South Africa are car-based countries. The vast majority of individuals who are of an appropriate driving age happen to own a motor vehicle, and many children spend hours and hours working to save up for their very first car. While a lot can be said for the car in terms of convenience and accessibility, our constant attachment to our cars is contributing heavily to air pollution and global warming in the United States, South Africa and around the world.
Let’s do our bit for the environment and help save our planet – get yourself a bike and cycle to work or school! Cycling is one of the best ways to stay healthy… and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll get fit…
Oh, and did we mention how much money you could save on gas / petrol? 🙂
