O uso da bicicleta: uma questão de saúde e educação ambiental

Abstract

The work was developed through a literature reflecting on the need to seek alternative forms of locomotion, with the encouragement of cycling as transport promoter of sustainable urban mobility. The use of bicycles for daily urban displacement has been analyzed as an action of promoting public health and environmental education, working to preserve the planet's natural resources, since human action has compromised the integrity of these. We also carried out an educational activity with a group of young high school students, encouraging the adoption of the bicycle as an alternative and healthy movement, and the reporting of concrete experiences of the creation of bike lanes in cities. Undoubtedly, a more sustainable urban mobility would be a move of great benefits for all people who adhere to this proposal would also be contributing to environmental education be treated more effectively and clearly in the day-to-day cities.
