Carpool!!!!



Hey Guys,

I know I have mentioned the event being put on by the Parks and Rec department about 300 times in my blog, but I want to expand on what my part in the event entails. My activity is for the carbon emissions, and alternate transportation portion of sustainable living. I wanted to share with you all a few facts about carbon emissions, and show you why it's so important to try your best to either carpool, or take public transportation at every opportunity!

1. Co2 not only effects your lungs, but also both your immunity AND your reproductive systems negatively!
2. Carbon Emissions creates the foggy film over Salt Lake City known as inversion!
3. Too much Co2 depletes mass amounts of the ozone layer daily, ultimately effecting global warming
4. If we do not change our living habits, and continue pumping the same amount of carbon into the Salt Lake environment, our ski season will ultimately be cut IN HALF in the next 12 years!
