Be a Super hero. Save Gas, Save Yourself, Save the World

Taking your bicycle, walking, or riding the bus to work is one small way to save the world. During the month of August try going to work by bicycle, walking, or riding the bus.

To find a route to bike or walk to work check out this link for a city map with bike trails in Fergus Falls,

If you want to try the bus go to this link for the Otter Express

Check out the save-o-meter to find out how much gas you are saving.

Send safety tips to this blog for others to read.

Connect each morning to the superhero survey to find out who else is saving the world by finding a gas saving way to work.

Upload pictures of your bike or route to work on your Flicker web site and link them to your blog response. See my daily commute. .

Support your favorite charity by taking the "Save the World in August" challenge.

Ask your employer to match any donations made by friends for every day you save gas by biking, walking, busing to work or school during the month of August.

This afternoon I bought a cargo rack for my bicycle -- the kind that mounts over the rear tire. Lack of cargo capacity has sometimes kept me from riding to work, because I need to carry my briefcase, lunch, etc. One impediment removed.
