Wellness tip: ride the bus to work

Do you live near a bus route or transit station? If so, try riding the bus to work instead of driving. The extra walking to the bus stop or between the bus stop and your office building is a great way to exercise a little bit more each day. Studies have shown that people who take public transportation to work burn more calories because they end up walking more than their car-driving counterparts. And, taking public transportation reduces the amount of carbon dioxide emitted and in the atmosphere.
