Change Your World Campaign

If everyone gave up just one car journey per week, together we'd take 10% of car traffic off our roads, giving us healthier journeys, cleaner air and quieter streets.

To take part in the Sustrans annual Change Your World campaign, register online and leave your car behind during the first week of July (29 June - 4 July) in favour of walking, cycling, public transport, car-sharing or not making the journey at all.
