#SaludTues Tweetchat 9/11/2018: “Change the Way You Commute: Why & How”

Share On Social!

Commuting is often the worst part of our day.

Driving is linked to poor physical and mental health, increased risk for traffic fatalities and serious injuries, and is the leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions.

Changing the way you commute can help improve your health and the health of the environment.

Whether you’re heading back to school or just want to change up your routine, ditch the car and explore ways to add walking, biking, and transit to your commute.

UPDATE: Check out the recap on Wakelet.
