Walk for Sustainable Transport 2007

This event was organised by Community Action for Sustainable Transport. From their blog:


Community Action for Sustainable Transport (CAST) is a grassroots collective of Southeast Queensland (SEQ)residents and activists. CAST asserts that all levels of Government must produce, adopt and introduce sustainable transport policies and services for SEQ.

About 500 people turned out, which was largely disappointing given the impact transport has on climate change and the lives of our cities. Not to mention that if people included walking and cycling in their lives as regular transport options, then obesity would not be so prevalent. People may then think more about what they do, eat and at all times put into their body, and so we might see blights on our social and commercial landscape, such as MacDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks and the like disappear or at least have their menus replaced with 100% organic and sustainably produced fruit and salad dishes. Well done to the 500 people!
