Greener travel
Green travel is about minimising your impact on the environment
when getting yourself from A to B. Whenever possible, try
swapping the car for the bus or train. Better still,
ride your bike or walk - you will improve your
health and fitness too. 
In making greener travel choices you can:
- improve your health by getting active
- save money, by spending less on petrol
- help fight climate change by reducing CO2 emissions
- improve air quality by lowering pollution
What is Green travel?
Green travel refers to any mode of transport that has a lower
impact on the environment than a standard car journey, in
regards to the amount of CO2 produced.
