LET'S NOT MOTOR DAY. JUNE 5, 2009

(Blatantly lifted from my InBox):

In honor of World Environment Day, let's set aside a day when, no matter what kind of car we drive, we come together for the higher purpose of leaving it in the garage. One day where we unfasten our seat belts and take the pedal off the metal. Shift our mindset, instead of gears. Tear up the sidewalk, instead of the asphalt. Let's put some miles on our inner odometers for a change and together prove just how far not driving a single mile can really take us.

On Friday, June 5th, join other motorists in a promise to leave their cars in the garage on World Environment Day.
