The AADL now has a green living category.  I just checked it out and found a couple of books that are especially relavant to those interested in alternative commuting.  Check it out:

How to Live Well Without Owning a Car

Simple prosperity : finding real wealth in a sustainable lifestyle.  This book has a chapter called “The real wealth of neighborhoods: designing for people, not cars”

 Auto mania : cars, consumers, and the environment

Cutting your car use : save money, be healthy, be green!

Pedal power : the quiet rise of the bicycle in American public life 

Happy Reading!

This May during Curb Your Car Month, we’ve got a little friendly competition going on.  It’s called the Commuter Challenge and it works like this:

Organizations in the Ann Arbor area (mostly downtown) compete with one another to see who can log the most sustainable commutes.  Employees earn a point every time they log a sustainable commute and those points also help the organization win.  At the end of the month, employees win prizes based on the number of points they earn.  And the winning organizations also win some special things.

Some fun competitions to consider:

Sweetwater’s Kerrytown vs. Sweetwater’s  on Washington

Grizzly Peak vs. Arbor Brewing Company

sounds fun . . . huh!

That’s right. Curb Your Car Month has a logo.

And we would be happy to send it to you if you want to put it on your website.

Just let us know.
