Johns Hopkins adopts climate change policy


President William R. Brody has just announced the adoption of a climate change policy that seeks to make Johns Hopkins a driving force in the development of solutions to what many call a climate crisis.
...
Earlier in 2007, Johns Hopkins was instrumental in bringing Flexcar, a car-sharing program that uses low-emission hybrids, to Baltimore. The program, started with four cars on the Homewood campus, began in March and was so successful that the university quickly decided to double the number.
...
"The challenge of climate change is huge, but it is not insurmountable," Brody said. "Our university, with its wealth of intellectual resources, can make a difference. Working across divisional lines and in collaboration with partners in academia and in the community, we can put our knowledge and expertise to work attacking and, ultimately, helping to solve this problem."

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
