GREEN Tip of the Week


	Join a car sharing program. With rising gas costs, car sharing is a great way to save money. It also reduces the number of cars on the road and overall carbon emissions. I-GO Car Sharing, a local non-profit service, offers energy-efficient vehicles at convenient locations throughout Chicago, Oak Park and Evanston.
