June 1-5: Car-free Commuter Challenge
JUNE 1-5: THE CAR-FREE COMMUTER CHALLENGE
On June 1-5, join thousands of other green commuters in Ottawa/Hull and
other cities, and take the Car-free Commuter Challenge: an environment-
friendly competition that encourages alternative transportation. All you
have to do is walk, bicycle, bus, rollerblade, car-pool or telecommute to
work or school, and keep track of how far you've gone.
Reductions in air pollution will be estimated from distance travelled,
resulting in an environmental impact assessment for everyone who has
participated. Last year, 1139 people reduced pollution by about 5 tonnes.
The event also includes challenges between cities, schools and workplaces
to see who can reduce pollution the most by using green transportation.
How can you get involved? Try to get your school or workplace in the
Challenge. This isn't as difficult as it may seem, it may be as simple as
putting up lots of posters. We are also looking for volunteers to help
with registration during the week of the Challenge.
To register, contact: <http://www.flora.org/commuter/challenge>,
<challenge@flora.org>, 235-8869 (fax), 234-1223 (phone) (if possible, please
register using the web site so our volunteers don't have to type in the info).
To help with registration or last-minute postering, call 567-7244.
