Pedaling Towards Zero Waste purchased a hybrid human-electric powered Zero Emission Eco Bike to be used by ReUSE, Campus Recycling and Refuse Services (CRRS), and other licensed and trained campus individuals, for transportation of various materials. If the pilot of the Eco-Bike is successful, it will reduce the use of fuel and emissions generated by campus gasoline trucks.

Example of metrics recording table that will be used to track the benefits of using the Eco Bike instead of the traditional gasoline-powered CRRS Dodge Truck.
