Over the past thirteen years, 108,877 miles (that’s the equivalent of traveling around the planet over four times!) of green-commuting have been collectively achieved by participants in both Green Commute Week and other Green Commute events and challenges. In total, 91,679 pounds of carbon dioxide have been prevented from entering the atmosphere!
The Savings
By leaving your car in the garage and taking alternative transportation for 3 days of the week, you can save $10 of gas money and keep more than 50 lbs of pollutants from entering the air. You can also save money on meals and commute expenses – thanks to local businesses serving as Recharging Stations during the week!
