Undriving and Undriver Licensing

We got this message from an enthusiastic Undriver who got licensed at Sustainable West Seattle’s Festival:

Hey all,

I’m writing to report what a success Undriving has been for me! It is so helpful to have made the pledge to walk all places possible in my West Seattle neighborhood. Each day, I consider where I can walk instead of drive, and push myself to walk just a little further.

This recent gorgeous Saturday, I found myself walking to my Yoga class at the gym (about an hour there and back). It felt so good in so many ways and complimented my workout beautifully. I LOVE UNDRIVING!

I’ve even extended undriving into other neighborhoods. For instance, while visiting my Family in Ballard a couple of weeks ago, I got the whole fam (me, Mom and Bro) to walk for groceries and produce instead of drive as we always Have. It’s 8 blocks at most! Wow…the places we drive!

My 11 year old brother enjoyed being our strong helper carrying our goods back to the house. My Mom and I enjoyed the time and talk as a family.

Thanks for the motivation and the foundation on which to build new and healthy habits for me and this awesome planet.

I hope everyone else is getting as much out of Undriving!

Good luck, and keep up the good work. We and the Earth are worth it!

Sincerely,
Amelia
