SUV Ticketing Day
Chesapeake Climate Action Network is seeking organizational sponsors and volunteers for an SUV ticketing day on Saturday, July 19. If you haven't seen them before, the "tickets" are mock parking citations given to owners of SUVs for contributing to global warming, traffic congestion and fuel dependency. The tickets used for this event will focus specifically on the environmental health of our region – but of course we all know how SUVs are related to oil, war and environmental destruction.
If you want to volunteer to "ticket" some unsuspecting SUVs or get your organization involved, get in touch with Dawn Ratcliffe at 301/920-1644 or send an e-mail.
