If you're thinking about moving or planning a place to vacation, choosing a city that's walkable is one of the greenest ways to make your move or visit eco-friendly. Turns out walking in your new destination has more benefits than just removing gas-guzzling rental cars from the equation. Walkable cities minimize land use and create a more beautiful place, mixing parks, sidewalks and businesses together. With more trees planted, these cities are literally cooler temperature-wise, and they significantly offset CO2 emissions. Plus, walkable cities are quieter; slower-driving cars mean less noise.
