Zero Carbon Harrogate launches walk to school day
Local environmental group Zero Carbon Harrogate is encouraging children in the Harrogate district to walk to school on Friday June 18.
Road transport is the largest contributor to carbon emissions in the district, and the group hopes the day will help improve the environment whilst boosting children's physical and mental health.
Children that use public transport or car for part of the journey can ‘park and stride’ the last mile of their trip to school.
ZCH said it will be a regular event taking place once every half term:

ZCH wants to add some healthy competition to the day and will be logging the miles walked, or cycled, and carbon saved by schools across our district and putting them on a leaderboard.
