As most of you were aware, April 22nd was Earth Day; the beginning of the Drive Less Challenge. As stated in the first part of this article piece, the Drive Less Challenge lasted for two weeks: April 22nd, 2010 - May 5th, 2010.
I am here to inform you that the last day of the Drive Less Challenge is tomorrow! Still have more stories to share? Don't forget to post them on the DLC website: http://drivelesschallenge.com/ .
In case you don't know, the objective of the Drive Less Challenge is to try and reduce the amount of carbon that enter the air and trying to make your travels more "green". What options were you presented with throughout the course of the challenge? Walking, bicycle riding, carpooling, public transportation, or trip batching [grouping your trips into one so that you don't have to waste gas, time, and less carbon enters the air].

Rural playground turns in shovels for textbooks
Any change we were able to rummage and it was a trip to the convenience store to buy candy. The choices would be: pink bubblegum, chocolate, and something sour just to compensate for the sweet tooth of a nine-year old. Lemondrops, tiny little yellow hard candies that made your lips pucker. With cavity treasures in tow, we'd run through the garage, race up the stairs and straight to the balcony to grab the perfect spot. Watching innocently as passerbys walked nonchalantly to the back of the house, an observant eye would barely notice the little heads peeking just over the ledge.
