Welcome to Going Green in Saratoga: Living sustainably one day at a time!  My purpose with this blog is to share my efforts to live a more sustainable daily life - converting my yard to garden, biking more, buying local - while at the same time create a community forum to share ideas and resources on what others are doing to "relocalize" and lessen our impact on this earth. Please share your ideas and stories of inspiration on how you or someone you know is "going green".

Register for Bike to Work Day - Friday May 20th

Register today for Saratoga Healthy Transportation Network's 3rd annual Saratoga Bike to Work Challenge!

As a SUNY Empire State College employee and participant in last year's challenge, which by the way, the College won for most # of participants, I hear we have a serious contender this year. So, join me in
registering for Bike to Work Day.

This is a great opportunity to help generate interest and awareness in bicycling and bike-safety.

In case you didn't know, May is dedicated as
National Bike Month, this week is Bike to Work Week, and Friday May 20th is National Bike to Work Day,

Healthy Transportation Network is our local bicycling advocacy group, sponsoring their 3rd annual Saratoga Bike To Work Challenge.

Over 120 riders have already registered, and lots more are expected. This is a great opportunity for your Company/School/Organization to claim one of the great trophies offered (the GearHead, SteerHead, ForHead trophies)

Saratoga Springs Mayor Scott Johnson has also proclaimed May 20th Bike to Work Day in Saratoga

Healthy Transportation Network will also offer a FREE BREAKFAST at the Arts Center on Broadway Friday morning, May 20th, from 6:30 until 9 am. So stop by for a quick breakfast and support your fellow riders.

Stewart's Shops has donated coupons for ice cream cones for all participants.
