Is this the “greenest” activity? Probably not.  But many older adults went for country drives on Sundays and admired the scenery and fresh air (this was, after all, before air conditioning was common).  So, bring back those nostalgic feelings by going for a modern-day drive.  You might be surprised how enjoyable driving can be when you’re not rushing to get somewhere.  Pick somewhere lush and green for the best scenery (parks are always a good bet).  In Autumn, somewhere with lots of trees is obviously a must.  During December, drive at night and admire the light shows.
