Take the One-Tonne Challenge!

Thanks to my cousins' in-law and the Rick Mercer commercials, I've decided to take the "One-Tonne Challenge".

The One-Tonne Challege is a program sponsored by the government of Canada asking Canadians to reduce their Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) by one tonne. Sounds like a huge task but it really isn't when you learn how much GHG's we can reduce with little changes in our behaviour. For example, did you know that "70% of vehicles have at least one tire that is over or under-inflated? Maintaining the correct tire pressure could reduce your GHGs by at least 1/8 tonne each year and save $50 in fuel costs."

Take the challenge!
