“Go Green!” It’s the cry of many in Holland, Michigan who participate in caring for our planet. This week’s special emphasis is on using green modes of transportation, such as bicycles and public transportation, to get to work and around town. There are a lot of incentives being offered too, from free rides to goodie bags to special discounts at business “recharging stations.”
We’ve joined the event and bicycled to a greenhouse, hardware store, and “Captain Sundae.” It felt good. How about you? This week can you let the car stay in the garage for one of your trips to work or to run an errand? It will make you feel good, too.
Tie-Dyed Bride continues to take the bus to/from work nearly every day, winter and summer. We only drive our car 7500 miles per year and get 20 mpg (city). About once a year we rent a ZipCar to get thru times when we need separate cars.
