To support International Walk to School Month, a new interactive online Travel Buster tool has been launched today - a colourful cartoon calculator aimed at showing 7 - 11 year olds that walking, or cycling, to school is healthier for them and their local environment.

 

The Travel Buster  takes pupils through simple steps to assess the impact of their school journey on their health, local air pollution and noise pollution. Pupils can then make a pledge to improve their rating by changing how they travel - for example walking or cycling more, instead of travelling by car.

 

The Travel Buster was developed by Environmental Protection UK with funding from The Body Shop Foundation.
