Earth Friendly Choices (June 2007)
The following well-organized website is from Transit for Livable Communities based in St. Paul, MN.

We know that our earth friendly choices for transportation include walking, biking, mass transit, and ride sharing. The TLC site provides information under the “Alternatives to Driving” tab about the many benefits to walking and biking.
As we focus this month on transportation, we ask what earth friendly choice would you be willing to make? Instead of driving, would you be willing to walk or ride your bike to work, and how often? One day per week? Three days?
Before you head out to the store to buy that single item, are you able to wait? Is it possible to make a list and plan your week’s shopping into one trip, rather than running to the store for a single item?
We welcome your ideas on how you would make the earth friendly choice when it comes to transportation. Join the discussion with others in our community on the Forum!
