[Sres-postdocs] Share a Ride Day

[Debbie Claridge]

Hi Everyone,

In the spirit of energy conservation and reducing greenhouse gas 
emissions stemming from transport, "Share a Ride Day" is coming to 
the ANU on the 26th of July.

This day is a chance for people who normally find it difficult to 
participate in carpooling, to actually organise in advance to share a 
ride to work with colleagues or friends and have some fun in the 
process (with the chance of winning a prize). Carpooling all the time 
may be difficult, with the demands of our personal and work lives 
(dropping children off at school, appointments at lunch, different 
working hours) being hard to synchronise with others. However, 
occasional carpooling may be some what easier.

With this in mind, ANUgreen have decided to promote the concept of 
occasional carpooling through Share a Ride Day on Wednesday 26th July 
- that is, sharing a vehicle now and then, when it is convenient to 
do so. If only 50% of those who do currently drive to campus carpool 
on the 26 July 2006 - we will reduce greenhouse emissions by more 
than 7 tonnes per annum. Carpool a few more days a year, and the 
reductions will be significant.

More info, including prizes, on the attached poster (which we'd love 
you to pass around/put up to help promote this special day).


Cheers,

Debbie Claridge
