The idea is that, instead of making their usual car journey to school, children, teachers and parents are encouraged to walk, cycle, use public transport or use the 'park and stride' option and walk the last mile to school.
Organisers Zero Carbon Harrogate see this as a step towards reducing traffic congestion in Harrogate and helping cut the town’s carbon emissions.
