Leisure Activities


People of all ages and abilities are able to enjoy green activities in their leisure time. With careful thought there are many activites and leisure pursuits which can be undertaken with little or no environmental impact.  Small changes in the way you fill your leisure time can have big impacts on the environment. If you are going for a walk in the countryside try and use public transport which will reduce the number of cars congesting roads and emiting pollution. Many countryside orgainisations such as the National Park Authority provide bus transport to take you to the best areas.

Many companies offer eco days and holidays where activites are inherently environmentally friendly or are carried out in a way as to minimize environmental degradation. For example some companies which provide off road driving courses now use a bio diesel to power the vehicles.
