We want to reward you for your actions. That's why we created Greenopolis Rewards. You can earn points by recycling in our Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks, blogging and commenting on Greenopolis and by recycling at home in selected cities. These points can then be traded in on coupons for meals, entertainment, discounts and more.
Our Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks are a big part of our commitment to conservation, recycling and tracking waste to resources. This Tracker shows the number of bottles, cans and other waste these machines have collected so far. Check our Kiosk Locator on our home page for a Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks near you.
Climate Ride is your chance to support energy conservation and climate action, while experiencing a unique cycling adventure in Northern California this September.
Climate Ride is a supported, 5-day fundraising bike ride. The next ride, Climate Ride California, September 21-25, 2010, begins under the soaring redwoods, follows the spectacular Mendocino coast, takes a turn through the Russian River wine country, and ends in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park at New Belgium's Tour de Fat, where more than 6,000 bike enthusiasts will greet the riders.
Along the way, compelling speakers will cheer the riders on, while they raise funds for three organizations doing energy conservation and climate work. Proceeds from this charitable bike ride benefit non-profit organizations working on green jobs, climate education and bicycle infrastructure. Rails to Trails, One Sky and Greenopolis Partner Green America will all benefit from your ride.
If you are a cycling enthusiast, or even a first timer who wants to Make a difference, Climate Ride is an opportunity to meet a community of like-minded people who are concerned about climate change. By pedaling together, Climate Riders raise awareness and make an impact in the communities they’ll ride through, among family and friends, and across the nation, through a targeted media outreach. You can add your voice to the chorus of the Climate Ride community.
Climate Ride will help support the fundraising efforts of participants through an online portal and integrated social networking. According to the organizers, Fundraising can usually be accomplished in less than a month, and the offer incentives like free bicycles, helmets, and more.
Can you stretch yourself to do it? The mileages on Climate Ride are achievable through training, and support vehicles are always nearby if you need a break.
This can be a vacation with meaning. Invite family, friends, and coworkers to join or support you in making a difference. The wasteful energy patterns and dependence on fossil fuels that underlie climate change are a global problem that requires a nationwide movement to create change.
Beside Climate Ride California in September, the organizers are planning an east coast ride from NYC to Washington DC in May 2011.
So get yourself and the planet in shape. Burn carbs instead of fossil fuels and support 3 great organizations helping the planet.
