Tour de'Green - Reno Saturday, May 14th, 2011 |  | |
A tour of sustainable businesses and buildings in Reno
Ever wonder how RENO got listed as one of the Natural Resource Defense Council's top 22 SMARTER CITIES in America?*
From box-warehouses lit by reflective sunroofs to water-wise landscaping, you will see for yourself some of the innovations, tactics and practices our business community has created to reduce their carbon footprints (and get ideas for your own business or workplace!)
City agency representatives will talk about the sustainability initiatives and policies that are moving Reno into the top brackets of sustainable communities worldwide, including innovative funding structures, urban in-fill development and public transportation plans.
At the end of the day, celebrate our community's accomplishments and enjoy sustainably-produced local ale at Buckbean brewery (first beer included in the price of admission. Subsequent beer sales help support SiGBA-greenUP!)
You can join Tour de Green by signing up for the bus tour, or taking a self-guided version. Click below to view the different registration options.
For the ultimate green trip, look for carpool, bike, or walking partners on the RTC Smart Trips website: www.rtcwashoe.greenride.com.
