Hugh McFadyen MLA Fort Whyte and Leader of the Official Opposition	“Actually I drove my hybrid Ford Escape. It’s a step in the right direction, next time I’ll try to catch the bus.”
Liv Valmestad Reference librarian	“It’s not. Two daycare pick-ups and deliveries daily, that’s the issue. We have one car and will only ever have one car. My husband walks to work — he’s the good one!”
Richard Perron Associate dean, department of landscape architecture	“Hmmm . . . well I live in the West End of the city so I have to drive, however I carpool with my daughter and drive a second-hand diesel car. If there was an express bus service I would probably use it often.”
Maire McDermott U of M sustainability coordinator	“Very! I bus it every day. I guess I should since my job is to help make our campus more sustainable. Our campus seems to drive a lot — ideally we would all take advantage of transit to be more sustainable.”
