  These transportation choices - walking, riding transit, biking or driving, makes you appreciate the environment, the people, things and animals around you. The stories being shared, the memories captured by your lenses, the reflections that you might have and the way everything interacts with one another. It could be a perfect day or somewhat near to perfect day.

Land + Forests 30 for 30 in Nature
