Hi Viatologists,

As you continue your scientific studies of roadways, please take a
moment to realise how your carbon footprint affects the environment!
Carbon densifies the ozone layer and traps heat.  Consider going above
and beyond the scientific principles of viatology by additionally
keeping YOUR studies green.  With your help, you can help save the
planet.  For a list of recommended guidelines in "green" for viatology-
based research, please refer to this article:

Of importance:

(1)  Don't take road trips purely for the sake of roads!!!  Bundle it
into a
vacation and kill two birds w/one stone.
(2)  If viatologists wish to discuss their topic w/ one another, use
alternative communication mediums like teleconferencing, telephone,
or
physically meeting together for more than a Saturday/Sunday gig
that's
several hundred kilometres away.  If you're traveling that kind of
distance
for that short of a meet, your lack of a social life is deprecating to
Earth
and is a carbon pollutant.
(3)  If you must travel for the sake of viatology alone, consider a
fuel-efficient car that gets more than 30 MPG or 7.75L/100km.
(4)  Carpool w/ other viatologists when all possible.

To reiterate -- getting to your destination of roadside research
produces carbon emission.  It doesn't matter whether you travel by
car, rail, or airplane.  Do your part and determine what method suits
the environment.

The WWTL officially endorses a green advertising-partner called 'Trip
Footprint', who uncoincidentally offers you the ability to compute
your footprint based on your mode of transportation AND the number of
people involved in your travel party:  http://www.tripfootprint.com .
Consider a visit today.

Cheers,

Carl Rogers
