BIG Green Commuter Challenge  14 - 20 May 2012

Havant Borough Council sponsor the competition for businesses based in the borough (i.e. business addresses with a PO7 - PO11 postcode).

Local organisations compete to reduce miles travelled by driving alone. This cuts congestion and pollution, helps combat climate change and can bring benefits to organisations by increasing staff wellbeing and easing parking problems. Using alternatives for commuting and business journeys in a competitive environment helps support corporate social responsibility goals and raise the profile of your organisation.

The BIG Green Commuter Challenge is

• A week-long event (14-20 May 2012)
• A competition between local workplaces
• An easy way to try different ways to get to work
• An opportunity to join with other workplaces/organisations to reduce congestion and emissions
• A chance to highlight the health, financial and environmental benefits to employees and organisations

The Moon and back – join the mission

This year is the 10^th anniversary of the Big Green Commuter Challenge.

As we have saved 403,421 miles over the last nine years, the distance to the moon and almost all the way back to earth, we are asking organisations to help us save another 74,000 miles to get back.

People taking part in the challenge can get discounts on buses, trains and cycle kit.

Winners can get prizes including iPods.

The challenge runs from 14 to 20 May. The deadline for organisations to enter is 4 May.  For more information and to sign up use this link>>
