There are many Earth saving alternatives to driving to school. Among them is carpooling and taking or the bus. But, if you want to be truly energy efficient, try organizing a walking school bus to your school. If you live close enough to your school it is a great alternative!
What is a walking schoolbus? A walking schoolbus is when a group of schoolkids walk together to school with an adult accompanying them, or a group of teens walking together. It's as simple as that.
It's not only eco friendly, but friendly! Waking together is a great way to get to know your neighbors, classmates and their families, as well as share experiences you will remember all your life.
