Plastic Free February 2022
For the 2nd straight year, we challenged participants to remove-single use plastics from the daily routine and do their part to clean up the roads, trails and waterways that we run, ride and paddle each day. It's no surprise that we have a long way to go, but we are encouraged by the lasting impact that we've had by doing our small part and influencing others to do the same.
The biggest take away was a clearer understanding that all of the trash produced is simply a by-product of the bigger issue at hand ... our throw-away culture needs to be addressed. We'll do our part to continue to raise awareness, and we need your ongoing support.
Once again, we tied in our strategic partners to drive home the point in on a daily basis. To tie the challenge together a bit more, prizes included 100% recycled HPM branded apparel from Recover Brands as well as reusable coffee mugs and gift cards from Summit Coffee.
