The JMU Clean Energy Coalition, Shenandoah Bicycle Company, and JMU's Institute for the Stewardship of the Natural World are sponsoring the 2nd annual "No Drive Day" this coming Wednesday.
Here are some interesting stats from last year's event (taken from the JMU website):
During No Drive Day last year:
-From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., traffic on campus was reduced by 7.7 percent.
-2,801 fewer vehicles navigated campus than on an average day.
-Transit ridership increased by 14.06 percent.
-Five tons of carbon dioxide were saved from entering the atmosphere.
Obviously, I believe this is a great cause and encourage everyone to participate!
