Recycling Caps

Here is my colleague Jill and I recycling our caps at AVEDA.  Aveda has just opened a shop under our new office making it pretty convenient for us!

Hero Photos

Here I am with Sonya ( who founded Community Car) and John, the Director of Community Car ...with my hero loot .  The hero loot included a one month Madison bus pass and a coupon to use a community car for day ( watch for Mark and I in the Mini Cooper.)



This is me being interviewed by Channel 3. I am told I made the 10pm news ( I was asleep at that point)

Hat tip to Astrid for the photos and also for the suggestion to send the photos to our neighborhood newsletter. Westmoreland Rocks!!

We are heroes!

I accepted a Transportation Hero award on behalf of the six Challenge families. The award was from Madison's Community Car. I got interviewed by Channel 3. I don't think we made the TV news but we did get featured in

Award Winners

Here is our winning No Car Low Car Family.

They wanted to pose with their bikes because that is how they "racked up the points!"  Notice the garden behind them ( Karen should win an award for that too!

But there is more!  We all won an award. Mark nominated the Low Car No Car Challenge for a Car Free Award ( sponsored by the the Community Car here in Madison) and I got an email letting us know we are award winners.  The award ceremony is tomorrow afternoon as part of World No Car Day.

No Car Low Car Celebration

The celebration potluck! Yum! (We do know how to eat!)

Mark toasts our success...we got second place!

Ben takes one for the team

It's the last day of the No Car/Low Car Challenge. And Ben, our point leader, is injured.  He wiped out when trying an electric scooter.  We were worried last night. He thought he might have to take the bus to school ( a difference in 4 crucial points)

How would we survive the final day with our team captain on the side lines?  But never fear...Ben came through. Here he is getting ready to bike..pointing to his awesome road rash. Go Ben!

Famer's Market for 10 Points

We rode to the Farmer's Market on Saturday...with  5 points each way both Ben and Seth were happy to come along!

Check out my new bike rack..this is something I have been meaning to do...the Challenge gave me the extra nudge I needed!
