[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if I would say I’m “anti-car” - we don’t have a car, don’t want a car, and in general, I think this country should be less car friendly and more walking/biking/public transit friendly for people’s mental and physical health, the environment, and the health and vibrancy of our communities. But I recognize as my kids get older (currently 5, 3, baby) we might need one car for farther away activities - that wouldn’t be a failure or anything, and I don’t judge or hate people who have cars.

Anyway, heat doesn’t bother me much. [b]I’ve been doing my usual 45 min circuit (pushing the stroller!) to take all the kids to camps/childcare, and then again to pick up at the end of the day, [/b]half the days (husband does the other half). [b]And I work hybrid, been walking (about 40 mins) to and from the office 2x a week. I wear lightweight clothing and stay really well hydrated and come home sweaty. [/b]It’s really not that big of a deal.

I will say the physical labor outside (like your unloading all the groceries example) is, for me, way worse than walking. Just walking isn’t strenuous at all for me, so it doesn’t really feel much differently than just sitting by the pool (especially cause we have a really good stroller).

Biggest difference is that on weekends, we’re only doing water based activities outside, the pool or the splash pad. No regular playgrounds, it’s too hot. [/quote]
