THIS St. Patrick’s Day

don’t just wear green, 
BE green

For the second year in a row, SLO Regional Rideshare is putting a twist on the traditional St. Patrick’s Day celebration with a challenge - Don’t Just Wear Green, Be Green. On March 17th, county residents are encouraged to be green and leave their car behind when they commute to work. As an incentive to walk, bike, rideshare or bus instead of driving alone, Rideshare is handing out stickers to individuals so they can wear their GREENness with pride (and avoid the pinch). The stickers proudly state, “I AM Green” and will be available at several locations indicated on the I AM GREEN webpage at www.rideshare.org.
Rideshare is currently looking for businesses and organizations who want to pass out the stickers to employees and customers who do not drive alone to work on St. Patrick’s Day. To be added to the online list, simply contact Rideshare to have stickers mailed to your office/retail business. After all, the less we drive, the more green county residents will save on gas and have to spend on the local economy.
“Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference. If someone leaves their car behind just one day a week, it can have a huge impact on their wallet, the environment and even their health,” stated Kelsie Greer, SLO Rideshare’s Program Coordinator. In anticipation of San Luis Obispo County’s green movement, Rideshare has compiled a list of helpful tips on how to get around without driving alone at www.rideshare.org.
