Bike & Roll to School Week, April 15-19

SF Bike & Roll to School Week is coming April 15-19, 2019. This citywide event invites thousands of young people in over 90 schools (pre-K through high school) who will ride in with parents and teachers in “bike trains” — getting to school using their own pedal power, hopping on bike trailers and backseats, or rolling by scooter, skateboard, wheelchair, and stroller.

For more information, visit https://sfbike.org/bike-and-roll-to-school-week/ 

Sponsored by San Francisco Safe Routes to School Partnership and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.

Trash-talk: ‘Better at the Bin’ program sorts it out

Confused about what goes in which bin? Try this app to find out: https://www.recology.com/recology-san-francisco/what-bin/

Recology has a three-minute video that gives you the basic knowledge to get your trash into the right bin and helps you create less to start with. See also https://www.recology.com/better-at-the-bin/

Some points:

  • SF now has to send your recyclables halfway around the world for processing, so its  better to create less in the first place.
  • Paper is valuable for recycling, but not if it’s soaked with soda (or anything else) — empty and/or rinse your recyclables before putting them into the BLUE BIN. A half-can of soda can ruin a whole bin of paper recyclables.
  • Composting is good for the environment. Put your food-stained paper items, along with food scraps, coffee grounds and pizza boxes, in the GREEN BIN.
  • Cut the amount of plastic you produce by refusing single-use plastics — use a metal water bottle, cloth shopping bags, and reusable sandwich containers.
