Small Biz & Street Access
Focusing on participation accessibility and uplifting our community not only brought new patrons to local establishments, it eased the burden of those reliant on alternative transit to travel the city.
Digital Tools
QR codes link to individual Action Item landing pages giving more information on said item, why it's sustainable, and a list of the participating businesses (and riddles) that have said item's decal. You can see them all for yourself here!
Landfill Considerations
We picked a low-adhesive vinyl decal that won't fade in the sun and, once deposited, will break down faster in a landfill than standard vinyl. Our fabricator, Billy Goat Graphics, is Madison based and sources locally, which significantly lowers our carbon footprint.
