May is Bike, Walk, and Bus month! Please join us for one of our many events. Active transportation (biking, walking, rolling) and public transit are key factors in reducing our carbon emissions. We’d love to help you find the joy!
You may think “Why should I walk, bike, or take the bus? I already have an electric vehicle, so I don’t have any carbon emissions. While EVs don’t have any tailpipe emissions, they aren’t zero-carbon. Mining the raw materials for batteries, manufacturing, and generating the electricity they run on produces emissions, as well as other negative environmental impacts. Switching to EVs is an important harm reduction tactic, but it’s not the final solution.
