Short Trips, Big Impact: Rethink Local Travel
By Dylan Valenzuela
May, 2026
Many of the trips we make each day are shorter than we think. Whether it’s grabbing lunch, running errands, or heading to a nearby appointment, these short trips can often be made without the use of a car. By choosing to walk or cycle on our short trips, we can make a big impact on the environment.
Making small changes such as these not only contribute to the health of the environment but also make our community an enjoyable place to live.
