1MS is a great initiative that I think we could all get behind. I would encourage you to read over CT's idea http://isocrates.us/bike/2008/12/the...soultion-vote/.

Voting for this initiative takes a few seconds at this link http://www.change.org/ideas/view/the_1-mile_solution .
That's good for the enviornment and your health, but it's bad for the economy.
