Discussion on what to do for Ithaca Parade:
- Bus is in yael’s garage.
- We want a more unified, clear message, connected to theme
of Catch the Wind.
--Suggestions:
“let’s make that a clean wind”
“may the wind be at your back as you bike or walk.”
“ditch the car; catch the wind”
“catch the wind, the bus, the bike”
“catch a wind of fresh air”
“catch the win out of doors”
“catch onto the idea of alternatives to the car”
“walking is fun” [everyone in clown costumes]
A square of walkers: “walking isn’t square”
- Banner w= walkers with t-shirts and pinwheels
w w pinwheels on hats, giving out bookmarks.

--Bookmarks: include titles of books on subject. Rejected
suggestion of using old bookmark because it uses last year’s
theme.
--Use pinwheels.
--Battery run fan.
--signs with reasons not to drive: a list: the environment,
health
--Have a limerick, like:
Get out of your car and
Feel the breeze [then list the reasons, eg, for your health,
etc]

Earth Day, April 24th
Should we collaborate with BPAC?
