Dr Edward Hall Environment Awards
Cool Pool Tas was the proud recipient of the Hobart City Council's Dr Edward Hall Environment Award on Friday November the 13th.
Our community project titled "Walk the Talk: Walking Car Drives Away Climate Change" has grabbed the attention of many citizens at music and community events during the past financial year.
Where is the Tasmanian Government at for Carpooling?
Cool Pool Tas have been investigating what stage the Government are at now in implementing their pilot project to trial carpooling for Government Vehicles.
Some of the following articles might interest you in the very slow evolution following our trigger for the government for carpooling action at the 2008 Fuel Summit last September. Also some information on the University of Tasmania's federally funded carpooling infrastructure (through Travel Smart).
