Synopsis: How to make your school environmentally friendly, one step at a time.
Excerpt:
Now that we're outside, let's talk about the best thing you can do to help your school go green. Have a Walk Ride Day each month. That's a day when students, parents, teachers--everyone--agrees to walk, ride a bike, take a bus or subway, or share a ride to school. This is a win for everyone. You get exercise and have fun. Your school's neighborhood gets cleaner air.
Question:
How does sharing a ride to school help the environment?
- You will use only one car, so you save gas and cause less pollution.
- While you ride to school, you can talk to your friends.
- Riding in a car is faster than walking or riding a bike, so you will arrive at school earlier.
- Riding in a car means you can do your homework on the way to school.
