FREE & LOW COST ACTIONS

Approach your tasks in a purposeful way…

  • carpool to work or school

  • consolidate your errands to reduce the number of trips and distance driven

  • shop local rather than at malls further away

Walk more:

  • invest in good walking shoes/boots

  • invest in good wind/rain/snow coat

  • walk to your closest convenience store rather than driving for a few items

Other:

  • attend a Beverly Bike Committee meeting (they are open to the pubic)
