Detailed description (English): Each EMBL site has different challenges (and opportunities!) when it comes to Green travel options. The actions across our sites include but are not limited to:
- Bike to work groups
- Walk to work groups
- Carpooling
- Promoting public transportation
- Discussion about transport and climate change
- Demonstration of some of the mobility devices available to commute
- Demonstration of campus car-share scheme
...
Target group(s): We are focusing on mobilizing EMBL staff but encourage our partners and friends to join in too!
Objectives: We want to encourage staff to consider the environmental impact of their commute to work and consider alternatives to cars. Walking and cycling in particular have benefits for our health, our environment, and our bank balance! Such active transport modes are emission-free and help to keep our hearts and bodies healthy. We hope to use this day to spread awareness.
Expected Outcomes: We hope to see less vehicles on our campus!
