We need a supportive environment

Even as we make personal choices to become more physically active, we also need a supportive environment in workplaces, schools, and community settings:

• Safe pedestrian paths. Prevent encroachment of pedestrian paths.
• Trees for shade on pedestrian pathways encourage people to walk.Trees increase oxygen levels, clean the environment and provide shade.
• Protected cycle lanes.This will encourage more people to cycle.
• Parks and playgrounds in residential areas.
• Playgrounds + sports equipment in schools, colleges and other institutions.
• Protected time for school sports.
• Worksite facilities for physical activity & sports.
