Look Mum, No Cars! by Mark Johnston
Change Your World Week is this week (30 June - 5th July)! If you swap one car journey for a greener way to travel you can make a difference!
Change Your World Week says: "Do you remember being free range as a kid? Playing outside and getting around under your own steam? It seems kids today are missing out and the huge amount of traffic on our streets is partly to blame.
It doesn’t have to be like this. By taking small steps together we can make a big change happen. All we’re asking is that you swap just one car trip between 30 June - 5 July and walk, cycle, use public transport or car-share instead. Amazingly, if we all drove just one less journey a week, together we’d reduce car traffic by 10%.
So go on give it a go. We’ll count up how many of you changed your world and let Gordon Brown know that you want the government to take action too."
