Biking across the country -- Journey to promote sustainability

On April 22, 2010, the brother and sister team, known as The Green Riders, will embark on a journey across the country on electric bicycles.  They will pedal away from their childhood home in Palo Alto, California and head southeast on their journey to meet and share stories with champions of sustainability.

The final chapter of this journey will be in Washington DC where they will deliver their petition, “The Declaration of Interdependence”  to the White House.  Signatures will be collected in ink along the route as well as electronically through this site.

The goal of The Green Riders is to inspire, educate and activate people towards becoming more engaged in the growing sustainability movement happening all across this country. The more people know about what they are doing, the more chances they have to increase the ranks of sustainability activists.

To encourage and join their effort virtually, let's follow them on Facebook and/or Twitter.  Their blog is full of cool stories about their gears and setup.  If you have any connection to the White House, the Green Riders would love to your help in finalizing their DC plan.  Matter of fact, they'd love to hear from anyone who wants to get involved.  Please contact them at thegreenriders.bock@gmail.com.

The website www.thegreenriders.org is where you will find information about the trip and about the Green Riders.  Also included is a sustainability petition that they will deliver to the White House at the end of their ride.

Their blog is where their social media focus is.  They have links to facebook, twitter, etc. and they will be posting blogs with photos and videos as they make their way across the country exploring the sustainable solutions happening right now.
