In a lead up to World Environment Week, the World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour team, is calling all Canadians to Pin their Car Keys on the Fridge and find another way to get around.  Suggestions could be carpooling, walking, cycling or taking the transit bus.

They are suggesting that during the week of May 31st to June 5th, that you begin to get a little more exercise and/or work with your colleagues and get to work or play while leaving a smaller impact on the planet. 

And if you feel good about doing that this week, maybe you can consider doing it for the rest of the summer and perhaps think of getting rid of your automobile completely.  It is estimated that an average auto costs the owner and user about $6000-$8,000 dollars a year.  Just think of the fancy bike you could purchase and the number of bus passes you could use in the winter.  You could still perhaps have enough for a special vacation in this province.
