Make your stroll interesting: WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show is embarking on a crowdsourcing project and is asking listeners to count the number of SUVs on their streets. Why? "We’re trying to find out just how much gas-guzzling SUV use there is throughout the New York area, with all the talk of environmental sustainability in the city."

You can submit the number of SUVs you see here, detailing "1) your neighborhood, 2) your block (street and cross street) 3) the number of SUVs parked 4) the total number of cars parked." Or you can tag your pictures with "blsuv" on Flickr. Submissions will be accepted until next Thursday, when the results will be discussed and analyzed with an expert next week. And only count once!

We'll be doing this, but keeping comments about the bad parking jobs to ourselves.
