Why the madness?  Just look at the events and holidays taking place this month!  Pledge to reduce your carbon footprint when you travel green (like carpooling, biking, walking, or taking public transit) to any of these activities below or create your own (like a family reunion or museum day) and we’ll reward you with something sweet.  Or, just sign up to make a pledge.

7th: Super Bowl XLIV with the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints dueling it out for the championship.  Any Colts or Saints fans from Contra Costa traveling to Miami for the festivities?  What about attending a Super Bowl party?


12th: There’s an athletic event taking place in Vancouver this year called the Olympics.  Any Contra Costans attending the opening ceremony or scored tickets to a sporting event?

12th & 15th: This could mean a four-day weekend mid-month for some people as Lincoln’s Birthday and President’s Day is on a Friday and Monday.  Have any getaway plans?


14th
: The NBA All-Star Game takes place in Dallas.  Alas, no Warriors made it to the All-Star game but, Stephen Curry will be playing in the Rookie Challenge on the 12th.  Here’s another chance to go to another party!  But, it’s also…

14th: Valentine’s Day.  Enough said.

Various days : Join the festivities and/or parade taking place for the Lunar New Year in Oakland and San Francisco!  (Coincidentally, the Year of the Tiger officially begins February 14th, the same day as Valentine’s Day this year.)

Whether you take BART to the airport or to go out, catch a ride with a friend, bus to get last-minute items for your party, or bike to your neighborhood restaurant, these actions help make the earth (and your community) breathe a little easier.  Make the pledge to travel green by registering below.  As with all rewards, rules and conditions do apply.

Didn’t we tell you this is February Madness?
