Stick the kettle on, sit back, relax, and let us tell you about Little Big Changes.
This is all about how a small change to your routine can make a big difference to you, your family, and the world around you.
Our aim is to encourage as many people as possible to make small changes to their lifestyle and encourage transport choices that will make you healthier and wealthier.
Lovely.
'But it's so easy to just drive where I need to be' you say?
Did you know that 80% of people who take the bus are less stressed than when they are driving a car? That's nearly the same levels as a student sitting their finals!
Change your pedals, and cycle to work, or take the bus, maybe once or twice a week? It's no biggey, just one step at a time.
Whether it's catching the bus instead of driving to work, or cycling with your little ones to their swimming lessons, 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!
Size doesn't matter. We live in a big world but don't be fooled. Here are some little examples of the changes you can make which make a big difference:
Your efforts will not go unnoticed. Trust us. Whether it's your wallet, waistline or the world around you, healthier choices to your transport plans can result in a big change to the quality of your life, and your nearest and dearest's lives too.
