Likewise, walking is an idea whose time has come—or come around again. Six years ago, we reported on the alarmingly high percentage of third graders who were either obese or at risk of getting there. Walking was encouraged then, for the sake of their health. This week, we make a similar recommendation—for the sake of cutting fuel usage. Healthier kids, healthier planet: two positive outcomes from one simple step.
