What is Chooseday?
We are all becoming aware of climate change, but how can we do anything about it? It all seems too big and complex. Something needs to shift.
How would it be if Tuesdays became a focus across the Bristol region for us all to re-imagine our lifestyles - a day on which we choose to live differently.
This is Chooseday — why don't you join in?
Chooseday will begin with the challenge that every Tuesday we 'choose' to leave our cars at home and experience what a day without cars feels like.
Are you up for it?

Bristol Primary Care Trust sets off on Chooseday
You may have seen the great ‘Tuesday without Cars’ banner in Kings Square announcing the fact that Bristol Primary Care Trust are now very firmly on board with Chooseday.
The Chief Executive, Deborah Evans, is well known as a keen cyclist. She says, ‘I am particularly happy to support Chooseday, because it is a genuine home-grown, Bristol initiative and naturally combines our concern for healthy living with the need to address climate change.
As a result of Deborah’s active support the PCT now has a number of Chooseday champions in the organisation looking for ways to encourage the rest of the staff to leave their cars at home on Choosedays.

On Chooseday April Foolsday around 800 of the 1100 students and staff at St Mary Redcliffe and Temple school chose not to travel by car.
