The Earth Month Challenge encourages people to find and use alternative modes of transportation to and from work(outs). This can be anything from carpooling, taking the bus, a commuter line, running, walking, riding a bike, skateboarding, uni-cycling, etc.
Details:
When: April 1-April 30
Why: To reduce our carbon foot print, sweat once a day, be seen in the community, do to the earth what we do to ourselves, and use that awesome running backpack that just got marked down.
How to earn points:
Each way that you find an alternative mode (i.e. running, walking, carpooling, taking the bus, skateboarding, uni-cycling, roller skating, etc) to and from work or your work out will be worth 1 point. (All points are the same to honor the conscious intention behind the effort and to acknowledge that some live further than others).
Tracking:
This is an integrity based scoring system. Attached is a tracking sheet template. Glendale is keeping theirs on their Earth Month Challenge Community Board. 4 points max per person per day.
Facebook and other media:
We have created a blog (glendalelululemon.blogspot.com which will be kept in accordance to blog guidelines as stated on lululent) that Erika M. has committed to maintaining an updating on a regular basis about her personal experiences as well as those of others. Starting weight, articles, resources, the How To's of Bike and Run Commuting, and lots of pictures will be posted. This in turn will be linked to our Facebook page. We will also be inviting and encouraging our community, Facebook friends, and guests to participate and share their stories.
Attached are the How To's for both Bike and Run Commuting, the official challenge guidelines, and a tracking sheet templates.
This is an excellent opportunity for each and every one of you to set a goal for yourself and your team, big or small. I would love to hear them all! My personal goal is to take alt. transportation (bike, walk, run, bus, carpool) the entire month of April, rain or shine, as well as run both to and from work on the same day at least once (that's 5 miles each way).
