St. Augustine once adduced "Solvitur Ambulando," meaning "It is solved by walking," which is a familiar theme here at Planet Green. Using your feet instead of your car more often will help you lose weight, boost your energy level, help you use less stuff-and that's just the tip of the iceberg. True, walkable communities promotes better health, but, more than that, they result in reduced greenhouse-gas emissions from less driving, more transportation options (like public transit and bicycle), and stronger local businesses.
To figure out how your neighborhood ranks, click on over to Walk Score and input your address; the Google Maps mash-up parses your 'hood for grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, entertainment (like movie theaters), schools, parks, libraries, and more to calculate your "Walk Score."
A score of 70 and up is very good; anything above 90 is a walker's paradise. Though perhaps most helpful for renters or home buyers on the move, Walk Score creates a whole new way to look at where you live-you might even uncover some spots you didn't know were right under your nose as you zipped by in a car. ::Walk Score
