Walk The Walk

Get around with less machine power and more of your own steam power. If you Walk The Walk, or pedal the pedal, you'll see the world around you and burn plenty of fat but no fossil fuel which means you'll go from A to B without making any C.

I'm training to become an investment advisor and my company specialises in green and ethical investments. Been doing research for a while and its amazing how much is out there. I've started to switch off all sockets in the house when in not in use, turning off the tap when brushing my teeth, Showers instaed of baths and havne't driven for a while. It feels good. I hope to recycle soon too.

Moved to London from Los Angeles. Ditching my car was the happiest part. LOVE walking in London. These boots were made for walking.

I liRico, life without a car would be qujite straining in this rather mouve in Puerto ntainous island that has very bad public transportaion. I did get rid of my suv 2 years ago and now have a small car that consumes very little fuel. But still have to work on doing the walk. There are places I could go just by walking. I would have to readjust my sense of what can be acomplished in a acertain amount of time,but I think it's well worth the effort. I will certainly try it.

I haven't had a car for 2.5 years and recently I have taken to walking 1/3 of the way home. Not only does this save me a little cash and mean one less transport change and less CO2, but it also gives me a little extra exercise!
