Cut That Carbon
Tips, incentives and rebates for reducing your transportation "carbon footprint"
Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions by Bay Area households and is a major contributor to climate change. The Citizens Environmental Council of Burlingame is inviting the public to a program on Thursday, March 24, called "Cut That Carbon" that will explain how to reduce your transportation "carbon footprint" and save time and money.
Representatives from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, San Mateo County's Commute.org and Active Transportation programs, and Proterra, a Burlingame-based electric bus company, will describe how new technology, incentives and rebates are helping people get out of their cars and enjoy healthier commuting options.
“Cut That Carbon” will take place from 7 to 8:45 p.m. in the Lane Room at the Burlingame Public Library, 480 Primrose Road. This program is free and open to the public. Door prizes will be given out, including extras for those who don’t drive alone to this event.
