It took about a month and more than 5,500 votes, but the Spare the Air mascot now has a name: Scooter.
Kennedy Kell, 10, of Sacramento, came up with the winning moniker for the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District's mascot naming contest, which was open to area children children ages 12 and under.
Sacramento residents could vote online for one of four names. The contest and mascot were intended to teach children about the importance of reducing air pollution.
Kell chose the name Scooter "because riding on a scooter uses less gas then driving a car," a district news release states.
Kennedy will receive a Nintendo Wii system and Wii Fit package, courtesy of Radio Disney AM 1470. The runners up also will receive prizes.
