May 27, 2011 No Comments

BOB, the makers of the first single-wheeled bicycle trailers, encourages smart, fun and safe bike commuting during National Bike Month (May 2011), with five tips for riding to work on National Bike-to-Work Day (Friday, May 20, 2011) and National Bike-to-Work Week (May 16-20, 2011).
Riding the Talk
Aside from being experts on great products for bike commuting, BOB employees also practice the ride-to-work tactics they preach. To demonstrate this strong bike culture, a plethora of two-wheelers and BOB trailers can be seen in the bike racks outside of the BOB offices in downtown Boise, ID. Employees enjoy using their own horsepower over resource-consuming products.
Bike-to-Work Rewards
As a sponsor of Boise’s May in Motion – the local, month-long promotion of alternative transportation for commuting to work – BOB offers incentives to its employees this month, including the opportunity to earn an extra paid vacation day and great prizes, to get all of their employees involved in using alternative transportation for commuting. “We make using alternative transportation a bit competitive and fun – but most of all it opens the doors to new ways of thinking about our daily commute!” says Nicole Brown, bike commuter and marketing manager at BOB.

After converting another Applebee’s to energy efficient LEDs, the Rose Group continues to develop its prowess as an environmentally responsible dining franchise.

The switch to LEDs also significantly reduces the location’s carbon footprint, further demonstrating the Rose Group’s commitment to being an environmentally responsible partner in the communities in which it operates.
Owning and operating 59 Applebee’s restaurants, the Rose Group employs over 5,000 people in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Their dedication to going green and reducing operating costs led them to LED Saving Solutions (LSS), an LED-consulting firm based out of Devon, PA.
