Join the Clean Commute Challenge!

NC Air Awareness has invited the students and staff at our university to take part in their Clean Commute Challenge which is taking place starting this week and ending on August 5th. During the Summer months, people living and working in the Charlotte area are at a higher risk to be exposed to smog and the harmful contaminants associated with air pollution. With over one million people living and working in our immediate metropolitan area, it is important for reductions to occur…and this challenge STARTS WITH YOU!!! Over the course of these 7-weeks, NC Air Awareness is asking for you to first register as an Olympian (participant) and log each time you commute in a healthier manner. More information can be found on their website as to how you can do this. Each week, prizes will be made available to people who made a positive impact through commuting, and a grand prize will be given out at the end of the contest!
