Cutting down emissions in our local communities
Take a look at school admission process, children are being denied spaces in schools which are walking distance, instead they are given places too far to walk,forcing parents to drive them to school. I know it might mean a lot but I feel this is how we can take part in saving our environment, by walking to school instead of driving to school. My son was refused a place 5minutes walk from home and I had to drive past this school to another school. I know some parents chose to go further because they feel the standards aren't good enough, this is where the government comes in to ensure that all schools have high standards, to attract all parents.
Why is this important?
Every morning, more and more parents have to fight for little space to park, our communities are too small to have almost every parent driving to school. If you can't find parking the kids will be late but most importantly, how much more emissions are we releasing into the atmosphere? I believe if only a few parents drive to school, and also because they have to go to work afterwards, I know it might to reduce emissions massively but that's a start. You will have a healthy society because more people are walking atleast Monday to Friday!
