Brita Climate Ride

From: Ted Glick

 

Friends,

 

Here is information about a Climate Ride coming up this fall that you might be interested in. The organizers reached out to me about it and I'm passing on the information. Seems like a good initiative, especially if you're into bicycling.

On the eve of the US elections, one hundred Climate Riders will cycle from New York City to Washington DC to make a powerful statement about the need for renewable energy legislation and climate change awareness.  Only a few spots remain for the Brita Climate Ride, and we would like to extend the invitation to concerned and interested citizens.  Climate Ride is a unique event that is attracting national media attention—it is a fundraiser and a climate conference on wheels, bringing together scientists, engineers, environmental groups, and all Americans into a conversation about the solutions to global warming and the possibilities of a renewable energy future.

Join fellow Climate Riders for a beautiful ride that begins in the urban landscape of Manhattan, then meanders through rural New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the equine estates of Maryland to the ride finale in Washington DC.  Along the way, expert speakers meet our cyclists each evening to discuss climate science, green technology, and how to reduce our carbon footprint.  Meet people committed to resolving the climate crisis, make your voice heard, and benefit an important cause—all on an unforgettable vacation!  To learn more about Climate Ride and our beneficiaries, visit www.ClimateRide.org, or email info@climateride.org.
