An update from the Green Team: our first transportation emissions’ reduction activity is happening tomorrow! It’s the “Walk or Bike to Work Day” event, for which we’ve invited all staff to walk or bike to and from work. For those who live too far away, or need to take a vehicle or transit for logistical reasons, the option is available to donate $5 to Less (less.ca), a carbon offset program recommended by the David Suzuki Foundation. The reward is a picnic lunch (weather permitting) for all participants, including those who donate to offsets.
We’re hoping to encourage employees to use lower carbon-emitting methods of transportation, and prove that biking or walking is feasible and a nice change of pace. Bonus: we’ve asked participants to take a photo of themselves on their way to work, so we should have some fun updates later in the week.
Though there’s no rain in the forecast, we all know that Toronto weather can be unpredictable... fingers crossed for a sunny day!
