Re: Campaigns to encourage kindergarten families to ride to school

Hi Michele, I haven't been involved in a biking campaign but this NGO in Vancouver, Canada runs a very successful yearly bike week that includes a school component. If you contact them they may have some leads or insights. Under the "Bike Education" tab, you'll also see the courses they offer, many of them kid/family oriented. It's great idea - good luck! https://bikehub.ca/bike-to-school/bike-to-school-week -

Hi Emma,
Thanks for the info. I am interested to see that you are going beyond advertising/information brochures, which is what we are hoping to do here as well.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the links - I will look into those programs. It's a significant issue here as well - lots of North American cities are grappling with it for the reasons that you mention. It's also costing us extra $ to maintain infrastructure because of extra wear and tear on the pumping equipment. Though we have thankfully yet to reach London's "Fatberg" level...

Disposable Wipes - Keeping them out of the Toilet
2014-01-22 12:51:35 UTC
I am looking for examples of any programs/campaigns that tried to get residents not to flush dispoable wipes (and other objects - tampons, etc) down the toilet. I am specifically looking for examples where the program went beyond simply providing information. Thanks.
