Tonight, Montreal's Action Terroriste Socialement Acceptable (which, near as I can tell means "Social Terrorists for Acceptable Action", but don't quote me because I was horrifically bad in French class....) brings their Acceptable Action to Toronto for a campaign to raise awareness that SUVs are big giant things which are very unneccessary in an urban environment which has a great transit system and is extremely bikable. Is "bikable" a word? How about "Cycle-tastic"? That's better.

Approximately 1200 "tickets" will be given out by citizen volunteers (duplicates wil form some of an art exhibit after the event) to oversized personal vehicles to bring attention to the fact that no matter how "Grande" a Grande is at Starbucks, or how good a sale the Gap is having, you don't need hundreds of cubic feet of storage space in the back of your vehicle for every single trip of your entire life.

It all gets going at around 4 pm (ticketing actually takes place between 5 and 7 pm) at the Theatre Centre at 1087 Queen St. West. A ton more information is on ATSA's official website.

Thanks to Spacing and TreeHugger for publicizing this!
