Ripon Walk to School Day

Get active whilst helping combat climate change! Can you leave the car at home for most, if not all, of the school run?

Did you know that in North Yorkshire more carbon emissions are created by transport than anything else, and that more than three quarters of this comes from cars and vans? By choosing a more sustainable form of transport, you can do your bit to help protect our communities and our planet by tackling climate change. Even if you live too far from school to walk or cycle all the way, there are other options such as public transport, car sharing or ‘park and stride’ – this is where you parksooner than normal and walk the last part. All these options will help lower our carbon footprint. We do what we can, when we can and every mile counts!
