Transport

Transport for most involves moving several tons of metal around in order to move a couple of hundred kilos of us. One-quarter of all car journeys are less than 3km. To ride a bike the same distance uses up less than one fiftieth (1/50) of the energy required to drive. Explore more simple actions toward sustainable transport.

Environmental

Transport for most in Australia is the motor car, the second least energy efficient of the available modes (air travel being least). It generates noise, air, water & land pollution, contributes to global warming and consumes millions of hectares of land for roads. As individuals we must understand the implications of our restlessness, start diminishing our addiction to the car, and reinvigorate our use of public transport and bikes.

Wellbeing

Transport consumes our time. To regain this time, we need to overlay our transport time with activities that improve our wellbeing or simply move ourselves around less. Cars are also a major cause of health problems. Rethinking our transport habits can free up time, engage us with our local communities and add to our health.
