TAKE A WALK, RIDE A BUS, GO GREEN

Do you walk to school or to work? Do you take the bus or the train? Do you car pool. If you partake in any of these exercise activities, then you are an eco-friendly individual and the world thanks you.

The article presented above is a motivational and inspiring speech about the economy and how more people should be involved in public transit. It explains how frustrated people are with morning traffic commutes and elaborates on the fact that it wouldn’t cost that much extra money to ensure every city, province and territory has accessible public transit. In some cases though, as explained in the article, many people cannot get to their destination without the use of their vehicles. In this situation those individuals can always be eco-friendly afterwards, or be physically active to keep a healthy lifestyle for themselves. In my opinion, taking transit or walking to school or to work or even taking the train is a more healthier and productive lifestyle. While keeping a regular routine everyday, people at the same time can exercise and be healthy, which is surely an accomplishment everybody wants to fulfill at some point in their life. This article has made me think of how much better it would be to be more eco-friendly. Being more green will not only help yourself in gaining a healthier lifestyle, but it will promote a healthier world to live in. Take a walk, ride the bus, hop on a train and go green!!
