On the morning Metro Rail, I noticed a prominent ad on the train, urging commuters to fight global warming.
At long last, rapid transit is getting into the "game".
The ad, a graphic of Earth wrapped in yellow "caution" tape - normally facilitated at homicide sites by Law Enforcement - is quite eye-catching.
A human figure mops a brow and laments,
"Is it just me, or is it getting hotter around here? Maybe it’s because I see so many cars on the road."
The Metro transit blurb notes that taking the light rail is a cool way to curb "Global warming" and urges passengers to go Metro at least once a week to reduce carbon footprints.
Metro has also published a "Trip Planner" to assist commuters unfamiliar with the new mode of transportation to help find their way.
"You can make a difference one train or bus ride at a time," the ad concludes.
Now, if we could only get those stinky old vehicles off the highway before we all turn blue in the face and keel over.
