Change your world, one mile at a time

From the 1st to the 7th of July its Change Your World, One Mile at a Time week (http://www.changeyourworld.org.uk). This campaign is encouraging everyone to swap one car journey they would normally make during the week for for a bike ride, walk or train/bus ride. Car journeys make up 13% of the UK's CO2 emissions so reducing the number of car journeys you make can drastically reduce your carbon footprint.

So what's my car journey I'm swapping for a low carbon alternative? Well I have a cold at the moment and I'm not really leaving the house much, but I had planned to go to the cinema this evening with my friend Jane. I could have driven to the cinema, which is about 4 miles away, but I thought I could get the bus instead. The bus station is only a 2 minute walk away from the cinema. (However this is a hypothetical car journey replacement as I'm not actually going out, I want to stay by my box of tissues instead, so I'm not making either a car journey or a bus journey.)
