In New York City, or any big city for that matter, it is impractical to drive a car around every day. Congratulations, you are being green by default! But even in cities where the public transportation isn’t quite as convenient, ditching your car during Earth Month is an eco-friendly alternative to getting around. If you’re reluctant to get on the bus or subway because you’re afraid of everyone’s nasty germs floating around, not to fear. FashionIndie is going to tell you how to stylishly stay disease-free on public transportation so both you and the Earth can breathe a sigh of relief.

Fashion Indie supports the earth and all that comes from it, including the ingredients in the all-natural Origins skin and makeup products, and so we’re giving away VIP passes to one lucky reader and a guest. Read on to see how your “Earth Pledge” could be your ticket to rub elbows with Train, opening act Nikki Jean and other celebs all night long.
