Get There Green Week

Day Monday, September 20
Time All Day
Where

Lace up those sneakers, grease those gears, get those smartphone ticketing apps out, unplug the electric vehicle or dust off the car cushions for a (vaccinated) friend because Get There Green! is coming up and you can pledge your green trip(s) here.

Get There Green! is a week to promote and celebrate more sustainable modes of transportation. This year it is taking place Sept. 20-26 during Climate Week NYC. Everyone is encouraged to join in a week of climate action by pledging to use a more sustainable mode of transportation for as many trips as they can. These include:

  • Walking

  • Biking

  • Taking Transit

  • Carpooling (with vaccinated passengers)

  • Driving an Electric Vehicle; or

  • Any Other Mode of Transportation That is Not Driving Alone in a Fossil Fuel Powered Vehicle (kayaking anyone)?

For those of you who remember Green Your Commute Day, this is its new form!

How to Get There Green

  • Pledge - Pledge the trips you’ll be using green transportation for during the week with us to have your emissions reductions count towards our overall total. It just takes a minute! If you’re pledging multiple trips, enter them as separate entries.

  • Take Your Trip(s) – Simply walk, bike, take transit, carpool, drive an electric vehicle, or use another form of sustainable transportation for the trip(s) you pledged.

  • Post – While on your trip(s), and in a safe manner, take a selfie and post it to social media using #GTG21 to let everyone know about your awesome green trip!

Find a counter of emissions reductions pledged to date, along with resources on how to green your trips, on the Get There Green! webpage on the GreenNY Website.
