Upcoming Event
Climate Cafes, a community environmental initiative modelled on the popular philosopher’s café format, is hosting its monthly meeting next Tuesday (May 20th). This month we’ll be exploring ways to avoid or free oneself of car ownership, specifically through car sharing. Here’s some info on the upcoming event:
May – Living Car Free Cafe
Owning a car is not only bad for the environment, it’s bad for your pocket book, but living without one is not always easy. For those who need more convenience and flexibility than walking, biking or public transit can provide, car sharing is a practical alternative.
Join Climate Cafes for a discussion of the various challenges and opportunities in leading a car free lifestyle and find out if car sharing is right for you. Tracey Axelsson, founder and director of the first English speaking car co-op in the world, The Co-operative Auto Network, will be present to explain the mechanics and history of car sharing and co-ops.
