THESE LEGS
ARE MADE
FOR WALKING

People who live in the unplanned urban sprawl spend lots of time stuck in traffic and usually do not walk. We all know the advantages driving a car give to us. As gas becomes more expensive than past, however, we learn more about the energy waste, air pollution, and health problems that excessive driving causes. It’s time to focus on learning new skills: Walking, Using bicycles, and public transportation.

“I was with a colleague in LA at a meeting, and we had to go to another meeting that was TWO BLOCKS AWAY. You know where this is going, right? Yep. She wanted to drive two blocks to the meeting. I refused. It was too much. She insisted that her heels were too uncomfortable to walk two blocks.

I told her that I was sorry that I had no helpful advice to offer about the shoe selection strategies of the adult Homo sapiens, that I felt deeply sorry for her pain, and that I was not driving two blocks. She relented, but she never seemed to understand why this was an issue.”
