EPA Promotes Public Transportation

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promotes the use of public transportation in its newest public service announcement, with the help of NASCAR race car driver Leilani Munter.

Munter—who has a degree in biology—is participating in  EPA’s “Pick 5 for the Environment” campaign, which invites individuals to take five steps toward improving the environment. Her five actions include implementing bicycle and public transportation into the daily commute to cut down on her carbon footprint.

Using public transportation, carpooling, and human-powered modes of transportation such as walking and bicycling are among the measures listed on the Pick 5 web site.

“Environmental action can mean doing different things in different places, but it begins by taking the simple steps where you live,” EPA stated. “Doing your part means doing what you can do. By choosing five or more of these ideas and sharing your own, you are joining thousands of others who are doing the same. Together we can make the biggest difference, so make your actions count today.”
