I Was Green When Green Wasn’t Cool

Self-advocates are green. Back when everyone else was driving cars like there was no tomorrow, we used the bus. We have always used the bus. We have always pushed for better bus service.

Thank goodness the rest of the public is catching on. Four-dollar gas has a way of filling up the buses. Let’s invite all our new fellow riders to work with us. Together, we can get more bus routes and expanded hours. Go green!

Today’s Trivia Question:

If you had a car of medium gas mileage, and you put 1000 miles per month on your car, how many trees would you have to plant every year to balance out the pollution?

a. 5

b. 19

(The answer will be published
