I love the “Think Local, Buy Local” campaign and want to add, “Walk/Bike/Bus Local.”
Why? Well, besides the noise, air and water pollution that our cars create, I don’t want to see more of our beautiful environment paved over for parking and new roads like the proposed San Juan Connector.
In addition, driving doesn’t help our local economy because 85 cents of every dollar spent on gas promptly leaves our local economy. For every $1 spent on transit, that same 85 cents stays in our community, going directly to local wages.
In Whatcom County, we’re so fortunate to have the Smart Trips program for support and rewards for driving less and many of us participating and making a real difference. Join us and “Walk/Bike/Bus Local.”
Help in creating a clean, healthy, and vibrant community while you’re getting where you’re going.
