Joe Arms - Spotlight

Joe's recent addition to the Sustainability Committee this year provides a welcome student perspective about environmental issues related to the Clarke campus. In an attempt to save money on gas, and make a positive difference on the environment, Joe sold his car to his brother earlier this year. He admits that the winter will provide its challenges and is going to be a bit scary due to the inadequate bike lanes from his home to campus. In fact, Joe describes the trek as a combination of sidewalk and roadway exchanges on his daily commute, avoiding both pedestrians and absent-minded drivers. While there is limited bike rack space available on campus Joe finds the ride rewarding. His parking spot is better than most on campus.
