There are times I wish I lived in a small village (not to mistake it with the shrunken, global village) filled with green, street full of friends, family, kith and kin for neighbors. I would not have to think twice about anything, except I don't like anywhere remotely near such a place. These concerns are secondary for me...
My primary reason in wanting to live in a village is for the walkability. I would walk everywhere. I could still be late, but I would be lighter in body and mind. At the most, I could race to meet my friends at the other end of the village. I miss walking.
Walking everyday supports the environment, one foot step at a time by...
- Saving gas we use for fuel
- Drastically decreasing our carbon footprint
- Conserve gas with walking habit
- Drastically reduce transportation costs
- Improve physical health and wellbeing
I wish you all wonderful walking week ahead!

Thank you!
I live in a village but not much of what I need like decent grocery or vegetables are available at walking distance. So perhaps some village planning is also required. But it surely is much better than to live in a big city!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beloo di. I will write about the how city designs are changing. I hope to live in a village one day, just don't know where yet!
