Walk Instead of Driving

Like you don't know. Like I don't know. Let's pretend.

My policy is if I have the time, and it's within a mile, and I'm not carrying a ton of stuff, walk.
To some people this may a 'well, duh' moment, but I know so many people who choose to drive when they could just as well walk.

Walking instead of pulling out the car saves gas, the hassle, and threat of car accident (most accidents occur near home!). It makes you feel refreshed, you get a little exercise and some time to yourself (or quality time with your walking partner). Walking forces you to get a real look at your surroundings, you may be surprised at what you see, and how different things look from a slower pace.

Instead of driving down the block for lunch, try walking there.

Oh oh--
and when you walk, you always learn something new about the area you're walking through. Oh yeah!
