Travelling by car for short distances
Hello! I'm Mirco Hochkofler and I'm from Switzerland. My personal carbon footprint is very low, because I don'travel so much by plane. In fact in the last year I didn't take any plane. In the summer my family don't use the air conditioning, so we don't consume much. My carbon footprint is under the average of my country, but in one thing I can improve: every morning I go to school by car only for a distance of two km.
In the future I want walk more and I want to use less and less the car for short distances, like that between my home and school.
I agree with you, if you live close to school you should walk or even car pull with 3 or more people. I also think in order to make people walk more to school, we could use more sidewalks around the streets to the town.
If you live close enough to the school you should walk more ! I walk home everyday! i personally like to walk home after school i can breath in all that fresh air which is good for you !! I also stay in the car like im always out doing something !! im just really an all around out going person!!
