get ready for the golden boot challenge!

Get ready for the Golden Boot Challenge!

What would the roads be like if fewer people drove to school?

Well, here’s your chance to make a difference ….

... and find alternatives to the car on the journey to school.

Did you know …• in the UK, cars on the

school run produce over 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year?

• That’s more than some small countries produce in a year!

…and leaving the car at home could save your family money!

• The average cost of driving a pupil to primary school is £367 per year.

• What could you buy with £367 – a new bike perhaps?

If you walk to school, you can: • discover more about

where you live;• get some exercise;• avoid the traffic!

if you cycle, or scooter, you can: • have some fun on

your way to school;• practise your

cycle/scooter skills;• get to school

quickly!

or you could catch the bus, or train, or share a lift with a friend …

... great for catching up with all the gossip!

What’s so good about green travel?• it helps the environment;• you get used to travelling on your own; and• you can practise your road safety skills.

During the Challenge ….

…you can record how you travel on the web-site. Have a look!
