If you follow us on Facebook, you may have seen that we did not win the 100 Cars for Good contest. But do not cry! As runner-up, we received $1,000 and got to keep the HD Flip Camera that Toyota sent us.
And, well, it might have been a little bit of a joke at the end of our Application Video, but we decided to get a used bike trailer in order to reduce our fuel consumption. Beyond that, we let our Facebook followers name our trailer. It’s name is now Professor Rollie Von Wheelington, Esquire. But we call him The Professor for short.
So far, the Professor has already taken a load of computer e-cycling to Free Geek (saving us 9.7 miles of driving), and it’s next destination is to take a load of random recyclables to Far West Fibers (4 more miles). You can expect to see the Professor hauling outreach materials to different community events, carrying weatherization and repair materials to client homes, and much more all over Portland.
Welcome to the CEP Family, Professor. Be prepared to work as hard as we do!
Update: we’ve now taken the professor approximately 100 miles – he’s carried some heavy loads.
I can’t wait to test drive the Professor!
