Did you
know:
The
National Safety Council, citing
EPA statistics, says that “In many urban areas,
motor vehicles are the single largest contributor to
ground-level ozone, a major component of smog. Ground-level
ozone is the most serious air pollution problem in the
northeast and mid-Atlantic states.
Cars also emit several
pollutants classified as toxics...Auto emissions
contribute to the environmental problems of acid rain and
global warning."

Goals: Reduce car-trips and improve your health.
Track
your miles to earn monthly prizes by walking to/from work or a
transit stop. Rather than sitting in
traffic, creating air pollution, and spending thousands of dollars
each year driving to work, try walking.
Sample prizes: Briefcases, pedometers, bags, travel kits,
beverage tumblers, energy packs and more. Submit your miles each
month via the link on the menu above.
-
Use your own
fuel: Walking one mile burns 100 calories.
-
You're not
alone: Four million Americans regularly bike-to-work. In
Boston ("America's Walking City"), 12% of employees commute by
walking.
-
There's a
movement afoot: In response to health concerns related to a
sedentary lifestyle, more Americans are seeking healthy ways to
get in shape. If you have trouble fitting exercise into your
busy day, schedule it into your commute.
-
Know the traffic laws
and safety rules - always cross at a crosswalk and wear bright
clothing at night.
