Shifting Gears Wraps Up for 2011
/During the month of May, 1,250 employees from more than 100 workplaces took part in Shifting Gears, a challenge to get people to walk, bicycle, carpool or take public transit. It seems it was a successful challenge as over 100,000 km were travelled using these active modes of transportation. This relates to saving more than 43,000 kg of carbon emissions!
