I am lucky that I live pretty close and can ride here in about 15 minutes. It doesn&#8217;t take a lot of effort and it&#8217;s a great way to energize me for the day. Not only do I just use alternative transportation to get myself to work on Fridays, I can also be found biking to the Aksarben Farmers Market, down to the river front to cheer on the Omaha Marathon runners, Jazz on the Green at Midtown Crossing and up to Dundee for Dundee Days. Not only does it save me money but I get a workout and am helping the environment all in one! <\/p>\n<p>View additional resources about how to save energy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/livegreen\/save_home.htm\" target=\"_blanK\" rel=\"noopener\">at home<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/livegreen\/save_work.htm\" target=\"_blanK\" rel=\"noopener\">at work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"kyfU  Exy K  vDPf auOb\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout Earth Week Week 2011, the UNMC LiveGreen team will present tips from employees on how they conserve energy and resources at home and work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":94,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","topic-unmc-community","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Earth Week tips - Alternative transportation with Kacie Gerard<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Throughout Earth Week Week 2011, the UNMC LiveGreen team will present tips from employees on how they conserve energy and resources at home and work.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2011\/04\/19\/earth-week-tips-alternative-transportation-with-kacie-gerard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Earth Week tips - Alternative transportation with Kacie Gerard\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Throughout Earth Week Week 2011, the UNMC LiveGreen team will present tips from employees on how they conserve energy and resources at home and work.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2011\/04\/19\/earth-week-tips-alternative-transportation-with-kacie-gerard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Newsroom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/unmcedu\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-04-19T05:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/KacieG411.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chuck Brown\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@unmc\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@unmc\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chuck Brown\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2011\/04\/19\/earth-week-tips-alternative-transportation-with-kacie-gerard\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2011\/04\/19\/earth-week-tips-alternative-transportation-with-kacie-gerard\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Chuck Brown\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/#\/schema\/person\/f99efde0b91c6c20a256357d501c35d3\"},\"headline\":\"Earth Week tips &#8211;
