Bike rallies: Coming soon to a city near you!

This article came from Grist, one of my favorite eco-blogs.   In brief, climate and cycling enthusiasts are pedaling from New York City to Washington, D.C. in an effort to promote climate change legislation.  The 300 mile ride culminates with a rally at the U.S. Capitol building tomorrow (Wednesday, September 30)!  If you’re in the D.C. area or along the bike rally route, take some time to check it out!

More information is below.  And for my fellow Midwesterners, here’s to the Great Midwest Climate Ride (which I will begin organizing shortly…).

UW SMART Cookout

Powered Green was happy to be a part of WE CONSERVE’s SMART Cookout Event offering food to the UW campus along with featuring dozens of UW student orgs all working towards social change. We had a beautiful day to spend meeting other concerned students and introduce our causes. UW’s eHub played a major role in organizing this successful event. Enjoy a few pics from the day’s festivities.

Here’s a story written in the local newspaper about the event.
