Now here is a way to help yourself and the planet - at the same time.
The Montreal Gazette reveals all:
"Pedestrians and cyclists should be made king of the urban jungle, according to an international study showing the big benefits of "mass active travel."
It suggests money should be diverted way from roads to make walking and cycling "the most direct, convenient, and pleasant options for most urban trips." Pedestrians and bikers should also get "priority" over cars and trucks at intersections.
The study is one of six reports on the "health dividend" of combating climate change published in the medical journal Lancet Wednesday.
The reports say that enormous changes are needed to slow global warming, but show that reducing carbon dioxide emissions will be good for people's health. Millions of deaths could be averted by getting people out of cars, breathing cleaner air and eating healthier food."
