Sustainable Saint John Dares You To Walk, Bike Or Carpool To Work For A Week

Could you leave your car keys at home for a week? 

That's the idea behind the commuter challenge, hosted by Sustainable Saint John, which dares you to find greener ways to get to work during Environment Week, which runs until June 8. City planner Jody Kliffer tells CHSJ News it's to draw attention to the accessibility of more environmentally-friendly modes of transportation.

He says walking, cycling, taking transit, carpooling, even working at home can reduce our footprint by an extraordinary amount. 

Kliffer says last year we placed first in our size category of cities across Canada, and hopes we'll retain the title. To register your workplace, click here.
