'How the challenge made me greener’

‘I now walk to work instead of drive, and to the shops. I’m surprised the time difference is minimal. It saves fuel, and remembering I have to carry the shopping in my backpack I don’t buy as much, saving money again.’ Angela Barber

‘I used to drive to the local shops, about a 20-minute walk. Now I walk pretty much every time and get about three miles each time depending on the route I take.’ Simon Evans

‘I’m the warden for the church in the next village. I used to drive but now if what I need will fit in my rucksack I walk. I nearly always see someone to chat to, and it’s five more miles.’ Debbie Clark

‘Instead of one big weekly shop I do three smaller ones now, walking to the supermarket two miles away and carrying the shopping in my big rucksack.’ Agnes Varga

‘I’ve started using the train at the weekend – walking to and from the station is at least a couple of miles. It takes a bit longer but the slower pace is relaxing and I feel very smug when I see people sat in traffic.’ Teresa LC

‘With the petrol prices, walking everywhere you can is a no-brainer.’ Sharon Cubberley

‘I get annoyed if I have to drive. My world has shrunk, in the best way.’ Erica Mann
