Greening the Tour d'Organics

Image The future of organic farming and healthy lifestyle depend on us taking care of our environment today. OrganicAthlete has a strong environmental committment, and we do everything we can to make Tour d'Organic rides "green" events. Here's how:

  • Printing marketing materials on 100% recycled paper with vegetable based inks
  • Using compostable plates and utensils at our post-ride meal
  • Composting the food waste from the event
  • Recycling everything else
  • Printing T-shirts on organic cotton
  • Using biofuel powered support vehicles

Carbon Balanced

Every Tour d'Organics ride will be carbon balanced, thanks to our partner TerraPass, Inc. TerraPass is neutralizing the carbon emissions resulting from Tour d'Organics rides by funding American clean energy projects including wind, biomass and industrial efficiency. Not only do these investments have a positive impact on global warming, but also many of TerraPass' projects create economic and environmental benefits for local farmers.

You too can be part of the fight against global warming. Visit TerraPass' website at www.terrapass.com and learn how you and your car can do something good for the environment.
