This Friday, a 24-hour virtual online fundraiser to help Utah's nonprofits will be in full swing! It's called Love Utah Give Utah. Leading up to the event, I'd like to take a minute to recognize a nonprofit organization you could donate to.
S-L-C Bike Share, or GREENbike, is Utah's first solar-powered bike-share program in our capital city. The program will be the first of its kind on the West Coast and is launching in a couple short weeks, with 100 bikes and 10 stations around downtown Salt Lake City.
The implementation of GREENbike will meet various needs in the Salt Lake area. Air quality has been a hot topic this winter, and emissions from cars are a major contributor to poor air. By riding bikes, short-distance vehicle trips can be reduced.
Bicycling has the capacity to provide physical activity to users while also meeting their transportation needs. Users can rent bicycles for short trips around downtown for five dollars a day or a yearly subscription fee of 75 dollars.
Please consider supporting S-L-C Bike Share during the Love Utah Give Utah campaign this Friday, March 22nd. Learn more at s-l-chamber.com.
