Texting and driving is a pretty big deal these days with so many tragic accidents, as a parent I never text and drive and when I get in the car I put phone out of reach!

Today, at Colorado Mesa University they are giving texting and drive "thumb" reminders! As soon as I noticed this orange band around my interns thumb I asked her what is was all about!

It is simple, you place this band around your thumb as a reminder that you pledged not to text and drive! Student organizations, local businesses, and community services got together today at Colorado Mesa University to promote a safe, healthier way of life.

From texting and driving to maintaining a healthy body, the campus and community effort provided a great opportunity for students to get involved and be informed.

Take the pledge of no texting and driving for safer roads.
