Re-thinking Your Transportation Needs with an Electric Bike

Spokey Godfrey (The Bicycle Works, San Anselmo)

Learn why Electric Vehicles - from bikes to roadsters - are key to transitioning off carbon and achieving Marin’s and San Rafael’s Climate Change Action Plan objectives. Plugging your EV into rooftop solar panels or Marin Clean Energy’s deep green electricity gets you most of the way towards the 10/10 Goals that scientists say we must meet to reverse climate change - reducing our carbon footprints by 10% for each of the next 10 years. (Not to mention that EVs are fun and affordable, and you’ll never pump another gallon of gas from BP or other oil companies.)

Donations appreciated, but no one turned away for lack of funds.

Program at 7:00 pm. Gather at 6:30 for cookies and popcorn.
