There are a number of environmental benefits to walking. For example, if you walk somewhere instead of driving, you are reducing the amount of pollution that goes into the air.
Every little bit adds up to a big difference for the environment.
In 1999, more than 850 schools from 170 cities from 34 states walked more than 300,000 children to school to promote safe walking, exercise, nutrition, pollution prevention, and permanent neighborhood improvements. This is what today is really all about. This is the first year for both TDEC and CHAG to participate in Walk Our Children to School Day.
