There are many Earth saving alternatives to driving to school.  Among them is carpooling and taking or the bus.  But, if you want to be truly energy efficient, try organizing a walking school bus to your school.  If you live close enough to your school it is a great alternative!

What is a walking schoolbus?  A walking schoolbus is when a group of schoolkids walk together to school with an adult accompanying them, or a group of teens walking together.  It's as simple as that.

It's not only eco friendly, but friendly!  Waking together is a great way to get to know your neighbors, classmates  and their families, as well as share experiences you will remember all your life.
