Edmonton’s winter cyclists provide their best tips on dressing for the weather.

About Chapter 15: "Getting Around"
Transportation contributes one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. People can reduce this by driving less, driving better or using people-powered transport. How are Albertans slowing global warming without slowing down?

About Made-in-Alberta (MIA) Series
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions. Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding these solutions and bringing them to community television and the world-wide-web.
