Healthy people and a healthy environment go hand in hand! Community and school gardens provide people with healthy food while reducing environmental impacts of transporting food long distances, and providing habitat for pollinators. Walking and biking helps students stay healthy through physical activity and experiencing mental health benefits from nature. Reducing single-car trips to school by riding the bus, walking or biking reduces emissions from cars, improving air quality in neighborhoods around schools.
