Bikeable / Walkable Olympia

An action oriented workshop on the nuts and bolts of getting around by bike and on foot. Transportation is the source of half the greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels in our state. 8 million pounds of petroleum products drain into Puget Sound every year. Climate action and activism begins with changing our own habits. Happily, there are many additional benefits to active transportation, such as improved health and well-being, and saving money! In a non-judgmental and supportive way, we’ll explore perceived barriers and the possibilities available for changing our transportation habits.
 
Chris Hawkins is Community Engagement, Evidence and Partnerships Manager at Thurston County Public Health & Social Services, working with action teams as part of Thurston Thrives to increase opportunities in our region for residents to live healthy, active lives and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
