Every time you choose an alternative way to travel, you help reduce campus congestion and lower your environmental impact. With Try it Tuesday wrapped up for the Semester, reflect on the amazing impact you made and keep the momentum going.
Small swaps, big wins
Running on Tuesdays during teaching Weeks 2–10, Try it Tuesday encouraged students to leave the car at home and try alternative transport. Students were rewarded with a $5 Guild café voucher for making the switch.
The results are in:
- We handed out 250 gift cards each week to students who took alternative transport
- An estimated 300 of you visited the stall in the Library each Tuesday
- 23 students won YETI water bottles, as well as more than 2000 other prizes handed out!
Although the campaign has wrapped up for this year, why not continue using alternative transport and lowering your carbon footprint.
