Today there are thousands of people living in NYC that use motor vehicles instead finding an alternative that would benefit the environment such as, walking, biking, taking the train etc. It wouldn't only help the environment but it would benefit us like exercising, after all we are considered the most obese people in the world, and growing. Researches say that obesity is rising faster in NYC than nationally.
