 Why don't kids walk to school like I did, asked Declan |
In the latest in our special series on what matters to you in this election, Declan Curry looked at the environment.
He asked: are school run mums putting the planet in danger?
As concern grows about pollution and traffic levels in Britain's cities, parents driving their children to school have been singled out for criticism.
In some areas, it's thought that so called "school run Mums" are responsible for 20% of the traffic.
Two decades ago, most children walked to school or caught the bus.
So, why is it that today's youngsters expect to be chauffeured to the school gates?
We debated the environment with Zac Goldsmith, the editor of The Ecologist, and James May from Top Gear. We also reported on the launch of the Labour Party manifesto this morning, under the slogan "Britain Forward not Back".
The document runs to 110 pages and 23,000 words - the size of a paperback book.
And it'll contain chapters on the economy, the NHS and education - as well as a promise to reform the House of Lords.

We asked our video voters what they want from the manifesto and we talked to Labour's election supremo Alan Milburn.
