What can you do?
Whether it's catching the bus instead of driving to work, or cycling with your little ones to school, these can all have a huge effect on your wallet, waistline as well as the world you live in.
Ditch the car and make a healthier choice of transport, whether it's bus, tram, train, cycling or walking, or using the Park and Ride, your small selection of changes will amount to a big achievement.
Get your weekly exercise on your daily commute and feel healthier. A 20-minute walk as part of your journey will keep you fit and combat stress. Leave the car at home once a week and see the difference.
A 20-minute bike ride could burn up to 300 calories; that's the equivalent of an ice cream, chocolate milkshake, or a small glass of wine!
