Big Blue Bus considers nixing farmers market rides Jan. 3

Do you take the Big Blue Bus to the Santa Monica Farmers' Market? I sure don't. Instead, I bike there pretty much every Wednesday. And I actually don't know ANYONE who takes the farmers market shuttle to the market.

Maybe that's why we're going to discuss the possible discontinuation of service to the farmers markets at the next Big Blue Bus community meeting:

When: Thursday, Jan. 3, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Where: Fairview Library, 2101 Ocean Park Blvd, Santa Monica.

Other topics up for discussion at that meeting: upcoming changes to the Sunset Ride service, and potential changes to Line 6 and Line 7 service.

If you're affected by any of those lines, make sure you show up to put in your 2 cents. Because Jan. 8, the Santa Monica City Council will hear from the Big Blue Bus -- and the public -- at its regular meeting at the Santa Monica City Hall, 1685 Main St., starting at 6:45 p.m. On the agenda: possible cancellation of the farmers market ride services in February.

Can't make it to the BBB or the City Council meeting? Then e-mail your comments to Bus-Info@BigBlueBus.com or write Big Blue Bus, 1660 7th St., Santa Monica, CA 90401, Attn: Dan Dawson.

If you have questions about any of this, contact Dan Dawson, customer relations manager, at (310) 458-1975, Ext. 5831 or Dan.Dawson@smgov.net.

On a different note, I found this article http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?p=3225220 listing the greenest cities in the US. This shows that municipalities care about climate change. I guess the general population cares about the environment and global warming. My score on their calculator was 400 but at least I am trying. Here is the link to the website that published the list of cites and where the carbon calculator can be found: www.earthlab.com. The test took me like 5 minutes tops, and then maybe another 2 minutes to find the pledges I wanted. Pretty cool application.
