Chasta Feller works in District 9 as the "Sales Coordinator – Fun Enthusiast" for Mint Julep Tours. The company recently took over eyedia's former space on Mellwood Avenue (http://mintjuleptours.com/).
Chasta lives in the Highlands and bicycles to work. She rides to keep fit but also for environmental reasons - "there is no Planet B", as she says. Chasta has noticed a significant increase in bicycle riders since she moved to Louisville from California four years ago. She supports bicycle infrastructure, including a planned bike share program which she believes will lead to even more bicycle riding.
We’d like to feature your sustainability story - a resident or business doing good things for the environment. Riding the bus, bicycling, walking, gardening and more - our eNews will feature practices which can benefit all of us. Send your story to Bill Hollander or Kyle Ethridge.

Louisville has a thriving independent restaurant scene. Recognizing that the workers who support it sometimes need help in times of financial distress, a group of individuals with ties to the local restaurant community formed APRON, Inc. in 2011.
APRON’s mission is to provide temporary, limited financial relief to professional food and beverage industry workers in the Louisville area who work at locally owned establishments and who are experiencing financial distress due to illness, injury or other issues. Food service professionals who have suffered an accident, family emergency, criminal act committed against them or other catastrophic event are eligible for assistance.
You can help this Sunday, July 10, when APRON stages “A Taste of Independents” at The Olmsted in D9. The event runs from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and features tastings from over 30 of Louisville’s finest chefs along with libations from our top bartenders and purveyors, and entertainment from the Robbie Bartlett Duo. Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door. You can get more information and purchase tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-taste-of-independents-tickets-25896664621.

TARC has begun rolling out a dozen new buses equipped with the latest fuel savings and clean diesel technology, resulting in cleaner air. The new vehicles, which replace buses that are 16 years old and have traveled more than 600,000 miles, will also bring significant maintenance cost savings.
The new buses will travel on local routes throughout TARC’s system. Each bus features a bike rack for up to three bikes and onboard electric outlets for charging phones and mobile devices. TARC has a fleet of 225 buses.
Compared to the buses they will replace, the 12 new buses will result in a savings of 21,800 gallons of diesel fuel a year, and will reduce harmful emissions into the air by more than 11,000 pounds per year.
The new buses represent a total investment of $5.1 million, primarily from federal grant funding. An additional 13 clean-diesel buses will begin arriving at the end of the year for a total of 25 new buses. The buses are largely funded under an $8.7 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration’s Ladders of Opportunity Initiative. State and local funding will cover the remaining costs.
