Participants make a commitment to walk, jog, cycle or in-line skate (active transportation) and/or bus, carpool or telework (sustainable transportation) during Environment Week (May 31 - June 6, 2009), then report the mode they used and the distance they traveled. With this information, the Commuter Challenge team determines the amount of air pollution that is personally diverted using an Environment Canada pollution model that calculates the number of kilograms of pollution you would have produced had you been the sole occupant in a car, based on average car size and driving speed.
