I AM sure everyone has heard about global warming and how it is changing our climate.

This has brought about conditions that have caused floods such as those experienced in Worcester last year.

Many countries suffer worse flooding and, in others, there is no rain at all.

I wonder whether many people realise that they are causing these problems. Burning fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel are a major cause - yet cars keep going past my door, one person per car.

If you can walk please don't get in the car to take the children to school, pop to the shop or visit a friend just round the corner. Walk - you never know when you might not be able to enjoy this simple pleasure.

It's much healthier to walk and exercise your body. In fact, there are more fumes inside the car than out. Doctors are worried these days because not enough people are getting enough exercise. Many of us are overweight yet it costs nothing to walk and meet others on the way and chat.

Please, please think twice before driving. Think about your children and their future. Think about global warming and the damage it is doing. Think about keeping healthy. Think about people, like myself, who can no longer walk and would love to. Please, please... just think.
