BBC Radio 4 is broadcasting a series called Costing The Earth, which examines “… man’s effect on the environment and how the environment reacts, questioning accepted truths, challenging those in charge and reporting on progress towards improving the world.”
In the latest episode, “The Revenge Of The Stairs“, Tom Heap attempts to find out whether it is possible to plan cities and design buildings so that people are encouraged to walk and exercise more, take the stairs over the lift, and so on. The programme considers whether the design of cities has had the unintentional side-effect of making us less healthy, and whether this trend can be reversed.
Yet another reason to get practising your form in your local green space – assuming you have one. Failing which, get walking and take the stairs!
