How we MOVE - Keep Active
Dear Game Changers, it is day 7!
We have covered FOOD and STUFF! Now it's time to keep active and move mindfully.
According to scientists, cutting our mobility carbon footprint is one of the most effective ways to meet the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement.
Did you know that walking three hours per week can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 16%? It's time to promote people powered transport for ourselves and the planet!
If you can't walk, bike or skate to wherever you're going, think about public transport, sharing, and cleaner options to reduce your transport footprint.
If you’re looking for inspiration on how to participate in the challenge, think of these facts:
Transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Road travel is responsible for three-quarters of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles – cars and buses (45.1%) – as well as from trucks carrying freight (29.4%). Aviation accounts for 11.6%.
On average, air pollution shortens human life by 2.2 years. Daily exposure affects our respiratory, cardiovascular and defence systems.
It is so good more public transportation, but needs good Maintenance and needs spare parts available, needs good technicians for maintenance.
Unfortunately we do not have so many buses available in the country, they are always full and do not provide any comfort and it is dangerous to enter this public transport during this period of covid-19.
