Here is the email I sent out inviting families to compete in the No Car/Low Car Challenge.
To those families willing to accept the challenge, here are the rules for the upcoming No Car/Low Car 10 Day Challenge
Dates of the Challenge: Sept 8-17 with the celebration potluck Friday Sept 18.
The goal: Get as many points as you can. Winning family or team is the one with the most points.
How do you get points:
*Walk or bike to your destination 5 points ( each way) So riding to school and back would be 10 points.
*Bus to destination: 3 points
*Car pool: 2 points
FAQ ( well, someone asked them at least once)
1.Do you think the kids might cheat?...meaning will they walk or bike to a destination they hadn't planned on going to for the sole purpose of gaining more points. Answer: I hope so!
2. Will people be honest about recording the trips they take (and not making up trips)
Answer: We are all on the honor system with reporting
3. Do I get any points for riding my new (gas powered) scooter? Answer: No
4. Can we invite other families to join?
A. Please do..the more the merrier!
5. What do we win?
A. Winning family doesn't have to bring anything to the potluck ( this seems to be more motivational for the adults in the crowd. Additional kid friendly prize ideas are welcome!)
Best quote so far: When I invited Dave V to join the challenge...he responded "We'll kick your butt" at which point Seth (11 years old) leaned in close and whispered "Is my family in?"
Who else will accept the challenge?

I'm rooting for the Nesslar team. You can pretend you don't know us as my family would get zero points in this challenge. If I bike to work I would get there the next day (30 miles one way), and no buses by our home or work.
You rock!
