If we reduce driving by 50% around the world and assume one-third of car miles are replaced by public transportation and the rest by biking and walking, Earth Overshoot Day would move back 13 days!

How do you commute to work? Can trade in your vehicle for walking, cycling, or taking public transportation (when available) to and from your job? This step not only reduces your carbon Footprint, but also helps you get exercise without having to go to the gym!
