From Stockport Council:

Stockport Council is encouraging schools in the borough to take part in International Walk to School Month which is being held this month.

The Council has joined the month as part of its CarbON-CarbOFF initiative and has celebrated the month by re-launching the successful Green Miles initiative which, as well as encouraging children to walk and cycle to school, educates children about geography and history.

As part of the CarbON-CarbOFF information programme, the Council is committed to reduce its carbon footprint by 10% and has partnered with the Energy Saving Trust to encourage businesses and residents to do the same. Last year over 60 schools within Stockport signed up to Walk to School Month and Stockport Council would like even more to take part this year.
