Bikes, Beer and Veggie Buffet at Patagonia Chicago

Sip New Belgium beer and enjoy local bites as you connect with local cycling and active transit partners at “Why We Cycle,” 7 p.m. Saturday, March 9, at Patagonia Chicago, 48 E. Walton St.

After the film, directors Gertjan Hulster and Arne Gielen will share their story and answer your questions. Seamus Ford, Root Riot Urban Garden Network and longtime bicycle commuter and advocate, will facilitate the discussion.

Then hustle over to Timothy O’Tooles for an After Party -- and no worries, the beer is on the house, courtesy of New Belgium Brewing Company.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint During the Holidays

Visiting friends or family via airplane this holiday season? Don’t forget to bring Mother Earth a present by offsetting the carbon emissions from your flight.

Carbon offsetting involves financially supporting Earth-friendly projects, such as planting trees or building wind farms, which reduce the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide that your flight generated. Burning jet fuel produces carbon dioxide, one of the harmful greenhouse gases that is causing climate change.
