Get There Green Week

Day Monday, September 20
Time 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM
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.
