Thursday, October 5![]() "Walk to Work Day is an event to promote regular walking and physical activity. It is an annual, national event in which the community can become involved in a healthy and environmentally friendly activity. The aims of Walk to Work Day are: To promote regular walking as a healthy activity (better physical, mental & social health) To reduce the reliance on the private motor vehicle (reduce car-dependency) To promote and improve the use of public transport (less traffic) To improve air quality by reducing unnecessary vehicle emissions (reduce global warming) How to participate: You can be a Walking Class Hero on Friday 6 October 2006 by simply walking all or part of the way to work. Use public transport and get off the bus, train, tram or ferry a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way. Or take a half-hour walk at lunch-time. And where possible, walk up stairs. But, PLEASE, leave the car at home. If you have to drive, leave the car at least a kilometre or two from your destination and walk the remaining distance."
