Step 2 Imagine

List ALL the different solutions you came up with.

1. Ride a bike or walk. consider riding a bike or walking to work instead of driving. You can get exercise and enjoy the fresh air while getting where you need to go! 2. Take public transit. If you need to go somewhere that is along a bus or rail line, consider taking public transit instead of going in a car. 3. Carpool.
