Green Zürich




















This week the city of Zürich sponsored a celebration of environmentally friendly transportation, Zürich Multimobil.  As usual, we had no idea this was on and just happened into the event on a afternoon walk. First up, fun for the whole family in self-propelled train cars, racing a short track on the Limmatquai.

















Next up, a miniature steam engine train ride for the kids. The green balloons also had messages (environmental good wishes?) attached and were periodically released by the kids. I'm not so sure about the environmental soundness of releasing balloons, but, you know, it's for kids.
















Next we headed to the Lindenhof and found the Orienteering Run. After being shouted off the course, we stopped to take a few pictures.





The coolest event was last on our walk. On Rennweg we found the Skateboard Slalom, complete with DJ. You gotta love a place that includes skateboarding as part of a green event.
