In this time of stretched budgets here's a healthy way to make a little difference and all that is required is that you walk to work. Companies are urged to register as corporate ambassadors (free) and urge their employees to register as a Walking Class
Hero and Walk to Work on Friday the 3rd of October.
It isn't necessary to walk all the way, try and use public transport instead of driving if you live far from work and just get off a kilometre before your normal stop and walk the rest rest of the way. If you live close enough simply walk.
there is no cost to companies to participate but they are encourged to to cater a healthy breakfast for their employees who walk to work and save the environment. Simply walking 10 kms per week to and from work instead of driving saves you around $900 (£450)
and reduces 300kgs of carbon emissions in a year. There are other health benefits and it will likely improve your sex life too - if you're married you'll be 'fitter' for duty and if single, you have a better chance of meeting someone walking rather than driving.
Australian companies can log on to
walk.com.au and anyone in the world is encouraged to get in touch with
SOCOM to find out how they can get involved in their city. I think a good start would be regular WALK TO WORK FRIDAYS.
