In honor of these lovely spring days (finally), leave your car behind and try walking or biking to the next Rotary meeting. Alternatively, perhaps you have public transportation available. Or get to know your fellow Rotarians better and set up a carpool! According to the World Resources Institute, almost three-quarters of global transportation emissions are from road vehicles. The US and Canada are both among the top 10 global emitters. We can help to reduce this trend by minimizing the time we spend in our vehicles. Happy, healthy spring!
