Bike, bus or walk, it’s Mobility week

Nordic walking
 

The most widespread event on sustainable mobility, the European Mobility Week (from 16 to 22 September 2009) concentrates this year on climate issues.

The 2009 campaign theme “Improving City Climates”  underlines the importance of local level efforts to tackle climate change and improve quality of life through the promotion of alternative transport modes to the car such as cycling, walking, and public transport as well as clever car use schemes such car-sharing and car-pooling.

And of course you must not forget Nordic walking!

International Car Free Day

Climate - company car versus company bike
 

Today is an International Car Free Day. If we really want to reduce travelling by car, we should improve the public transportation so that it always is a cheaper option than using own car. One thing is sure though, we can’t go on this way…
