I love to see that more often, people are riding their bikes in to the community sailing center. Every week, there are several kids who choose to ride their bikes in to camp (even some of their parents choose to ride them in on bikes as well). With campers and the large group of staff and volunteers who bike in, we are finding that the percentage of car drivers is diminishing accordingly. I believe that sailors and their parents understand that in choosing to get their
power from the wind as opposed to a motor, they are choosing an alternative to fossil fuels. This is an amazing improvement, especially if one chooses to sail and ride their bike. We are also constantly working on the W.A.V.E.S. Initiative, which teaches us about the ecology of the lake and some of the issues we are currently facing. With the combination of bike riding, W.A.V.E.S. activities, and tallying/reducing our trash output, we are proving the community sailing center is definitely conscious of their role on Lake Champlain.
