Way to Go!

Way to Go week in Vermont was the way to go. With beautiful weather gracing the Green Mountain State last week, by Wednesday those participating had already reduced green house gas emissions by 200,000 lbs. Although not quite at the goal of 500,000 lbs Vermonters were well on their way at mid week. With over 567 organizations and 2,738 people participating Way to Go participation has increased by leaps and bounds over the years. Way to Go saw an increase of nearly 1,000 people involved this year over last and more than 2,000 more registrants this year than in 2005. Thanks to each of the 2,738 participants it is estimated that 9,640 gallons of gas were saved equaling a savings of approximately $35,000 (based on the average current gas prices).
