Walkable cities. We can choose where to live based on whether can we walk to work (full disclosure—I do not). We can also support local development plans which are friendly to pedestrians, and put residential development and commercial development in close proximity.
For example, my current commute is 1 hour. I can reliably cover a minimum of 3 miles in that time walking, even accounting for inclement weather. If I were to be walking 6 miles a day, I would be in substantially better shape.
