Cover Your Asphalt!

There are lots of reasons to CYA (Cover Your Asphalt) with shade:

·         Reduce pavement temperature by up to 36 degrees (wow!)

·         Decrease parking lot runoff containing hazardous oil, grease, and metals

·         Lower fuel tank temperatures up to 7 degrees and temperatures inside vehicles by up to 47 degrees (yow!)

·         Increase customer satisfaction and increase business profits by up to 12 percent.

A demonstration CYA project is in progress at the parking lot of Florin Road Bingo at 24^th Street and Florin Road in Sacramento.  Last month, 25 Chinese pistache trees were planted there and will be provided a regular water source until the trees are established.   

This is a joint effort of the Sacramento Tree Foundation and the Sacramento Metro Chamber’s 2011 Leadership Sacramento class.  In August they held a luau themed fundraiser at the bingo hall to raise funds for this project.  Once completed, the project will serve as an example that other businesses can emulate throughout the Sacramento region. 

The project is already receiving local recognition, having been featured in the September 2011 issue of Comstock’s Magazine and the August 12, 2011 edition of the Sacramento Business Journal.

Kudos to all the hardworking folks who coordinated this project!

Cover Your Asphalt

The Sacramento Tree Foundation and the Metro Chamber’s Leadership Sacramento Class of 2011 invite you to a special event on Thursday, August 4, 2011. 

Their luau-themed bingo night will raise money to plant trees and retrofit the parking lot at Florin Road Bingo.  This beautification effort will serve as a demonstration project that other businesses, along with the Sacramento Tree Foundation, can duplicate throughout the Sacramento region. 

This exciting event will be held at Florin Road Bingo, 2350 Florin Road, Sacramento.  Tickets are $45 per person (ages 18+) and include 8 games of bingo, chances to win raffle prizes, a buffet dinner, and a no host cash bar with a specialty drink.  The fun starts at 5:30 pm so don’t be late!  Only 300 tickets will be sold, so get yours today at http://coveryourasphalt.eventbrite.com
