Ini cerita dari Inggris,
... dimana sebuah inisiatif bernama LivingStreets mengelola sebuah kampanye komprehensif yang dinamai Walk to School (www.livingstreets.org.uk)
Berikut salah satu fakta yang kami pinjam untuk kita cermati bersama. (Thanks to LivingStreets)
90% of parents who walk to school tell us how important this time is for spending quality time with their children. Over a third tell us that the journey to school is where they find out the most about their child’s life.
Why walk to school?
It'll save you money. Walking to school instead of driving saves, on average, £400 per year.
It's educational. Walking to school can help your child build independence, road safety and social skills. In a study by Living Streets, 84 per cent of the children who walked to school often meet up with classmates on the way to school.

It's healthy. Children need at least 60 minutes (1 hour) of physical activity every day. The journey to and from school is an ideal time for children to be active.
It's better for the environment. One person switching five journeys of fewer than 2 km a week from the car to walking would reduce their carbon footprint by 86 kg a year.
