What are your green resolutions for the new year?
It seems that a number of the most popular New Year's resolutions (get in shape, lose weight, save money, live lighter on the Earth) can be targeted with one big green step: green your transportation.
Our most recent Green American, "Reclaiming the Streets," covers the health, wellness, environmental, and community benefits that come from more of us walking and biking for our transportation.
As our editor, Tracy Fernandez Rysavy, discovered while researching this issue of the Green American, not a single US city made into the top tiers of the most recent global surveys of the "most liveable cities." The reason? Most US cities lag behind the major cities of other developed countries in thinking of transportation collectively and planning for greener options, like public transportation, walking, and biking. It's time to change that – in our own lives and in our communities.
Our Green American brings you the resources to increase your walking and biking, as well as to engage with community leaders to help plan for better options in your community. You can download the full magazine here, or click into the individual articles below:
