We are all looking for ways that we can improve the environment and become more eco-friendly. Doing things like turning the lights off in your one and two bedroom apartment in Irvine when they are unoccupied makes a world of difference. Well, now you can go a step further. Join the green initiative for Bike to Work Week presented by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).

Dust off your bikes and oil the chains! “Ride to work, to school, to shop, to play,” as OCTA states. Strive to make a difference in your wallet and in the environment and ride your bike. When you pledge to ride for Bike to Work Week May 14-18, you can join the sustainability movement and a $25 discount coupon. Track your miles online and you will be entered to win cool prizes.

Biking is a great way to get fit, save money and be green. Join in the movement and get the rest of the family involved, too. It’s just another way to go green, so how do you plan to make a difference in the environment? Tell us in a comment.
