I'm lucky. I have a great job where I get to give prizes away to people who carpool, bike, walk and use the bus to work. I get to help people find easier ways to get to their jobs and help them save money and live healthier doing it.

The program I manage is called PATH, or Program for Alternative Transportation and Health. Our website is www.path-nh.org. I hope you check it out and consider joining for free.

Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, a Portsmouth-based non-profit organization, will be hosting beach cleanups and other family-friendly activities in celebration of Earth Day on the weekend of April 18-19.
