A Green Form Of Transportation

When is the last time you skipped? Skipping seems to have fallen out of favor, and yet skipping has many benefits as a form of transportation. Consider the following:

You cover more ground in less time than walking.

You don’t use fossil fuel; unless you’re an old fossil and then it’s a good form of exercise.

Whether you are an old fossil or a young person it’s good cardio exercise.

It is good for keeping your ego, pride and vanity in check. I mean, how seriously can someone take you when they see you skipping, and how seriously can you take yourself?

It’s likely the happiest form of transportation – how can you frown when you’re skipping? How can you keep from smiling when you’re skipping?

I can’t imagine people being ugly to each other when skipping the way they are when they’re driving.

I think more folks would use those “Fast Passes” or “Smart Tags” on toll roads, for who wants to slow down a skip and turn it into a stop or hop in order to use exact change or hand the toll collector a dollar bill?

Perhaps there could be “skipping lanes” on highways?

If people skipped to work or church or a community civic meeting they’d likely arrive with better attitudes.

I’m sure you can think of many other benefits of skipping. May I encourage you to write your state and Federal representatives, encouraging them to promote skipping on a sate and national scale; encourage your employers and pastors to promote skipping to and from work and church. If you work in a large office building with long halls, do your best to model skipping when you move from office to office.

Skipping – it’s a green and happy form of transportation!
