International Walk your Kid to School Day - mark your calendars folks. Oct 8th. You can save the planet and mankind by walking your children to school.
Correct me if I'm wrong but did we not walk to school everyday in the olden days - i.e 10- 15 years ago? Now little Jimmy has to get a ride from mommy just to get his shoes from the closet.
If "International Walk to School Day " was being marketed as a chance for families to bond whilst they walk their brood to school - I would find it unpalatable sure, but a lot easier to swallow then this charade. Park the SUV and save the environment by walking Jimmy to school.
While you have the SUV parked - throw out the video game console and computer so little Jimmy is "forced " to play outside - get some exercise kid. And parents - stop using your loud , annoying and pollutant spewing leaf blowers - try an environmentally friendly tool called a ...rake.
If you want to save the environment -sell one of your SUV's and get a rickshaw. You can still drive your kids to school and you can save the planet too. As a fellow occupant of the planet - let me be the first to thank you.
Of course if will only take a few days of running little Jimmy to school in a rickshaw, before your cholesterol impacted arteries burst, and you fall to the ground clutching your chest. But fear not dear suburbanite - your sacrifice was worth it.
Childhood obesity and diabetes is on the rise you say? Hmm I wonder why? Can I get the fries supersized?
