Northfield Commuter Challenge and B-BOP Day May 20, 2005

RENew Northfield, in partnership with Northfield Transit, is sponsoring Northfield?s first-ever B-BOP (bike, bus, or carpool) Day on May 20, 2005.

Area residents are encouraged to pledge to reduce their annual petroleum consumption in response to high fuel prices, increasing dependence on oil imported from unstable regions, uncertainty about future oil supply, and concerns about global warming and related environmental problems.

The Commuter Challenge Pledge form may be filled out online at http://www.renewnorthfield.org, or you may prefer to fill it out, print the form, and bring it to our B-BOP Breakfast on Northfield?s Bridge Square between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on May 20. Pledgers are encouraged to gather at Bridge Square to walk, bike, carpool, or take the bus to their workplace on the morning of the 20th. All pledgers are eligible to win fabulous prizes! Free coffee, pastries, fruit, and RENew Northfield t-shirts will be available (while supplies last!), and Northfield Transit will be offering discounted rides from Bridge Square to destinations around town between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m.

Information on hybrid vehicles, biodiesel and E85 fuels, and more will be available at Bridge Square.
