Government has chosen a new strategy for praise. The strategy is aimed at encouraging students and their parents to choose more sustainable means for their journey to and from school--a scheme to encourage them to understand the concepts of green travel.

The new strategy called Sustainable School Travel Strategy which describes initiative to be taken over the period from September 2007 to August 2012 has been put together by Children and Young People's Services of Cambridgeshire County Council.

With more and more concern shown for sustainable tourism concepts, this is a very good move by the government, and it could really boost the idea of green travel among the children and also their family members. If children and their family members understand the concepts of green travel, a lot of efforts can yield real results in the carbon offsetting industry.

The objectives of the strategy encouraging more and more students for adopt walk and cycling to go to school, increasing the use of public transport including buses, making journey to school safer and other support programmes such as road safety.

In a letter to the deputy chief executive of county council, Schools Access Team leader of the former Department for Education and Schools John Britton appreciated the new strategy and referred it as an example of good practice.

Councillor Jill Tuck, Cambridgeshire County Council's cabinet member for children and young people's services, said despite the appreciation, the council could not manage to be pleased.
