Driving a car is not wrong. However, there are other means of transport which are more environmentally-friendly, such as bicycles, scooters, buses and rollerblades.​

How do you travel to school: by car, by bike, by bus, on foot?​

• They keep us fit.

• They are 100 times lighter than a car.

• They take up 1/15 the space of a car.

Can you ride a bike?​

Cars are useful, but…

• They cost a lot of money to buy and fix.

• They run on petrol and diesel and use oil.
