Get Active and Stay Green

Whether you decide to walk, run, or bike, getting active not only encourages a healthy lifestyle, it can help preserve the environment. Imagine if you and your family biked to your local ice cream shop instead of jumping in the car. Or what if you took advantage of the nice weather outside and went for a jog instead of driving to the gym for a run on the treadmill? If you live in an area with sidewalks and can easily access your local retail stores and restaurants, have some fun and think green this weekend.

I'm encouraging you to step outside of your comfort zone, be earth-minded, and get active! See how many places you can go without getting in your car. For example, your friends invite you over for dinner... why not bike down the Greenway to get to their house? You might have to leave thirty minutes sooner, but it's worth the adventure. If you must drive, consider taking one car instead of two. So many times we say, “I'll meet you there.” But with a little more planning, we can cut down on the amount of vehicles on the road.

It's easy to make eco-friendly decisions when it's convenient. So challenge yourself and see how far you can go!
