Earth Day!

Reflecting On Our Commitment to Sustainability

It’s our favorite day of the year: Earth Day. We’re excited to celebrate GoGreenRide's commitment to the environment.



GoGreenRide is committed to being environmentally responsible. Our current fleet is composed entirely of the Toyota Prius V hybrid model, which means we only produce a fraction of the carbon emissions of most car service fleets. With an estimated 42 miles per gallon, our fleet boasts an EPA smog score of eight out of ten. In addition to our hybrid cars, we go the extra mile to be completely carbon neutral with our partner, Carbon Neutral by purchasing carbon credits to offset our environmental impact. 

Via this partnership, our carbon credits help to fund the Mississippi Valley Restored EcoSystem Project. Our funds will help reforest one million acres of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley was once covered by 22 million acres of dense forests, but now supports less than 20% of the original as a result of deforestation and a change to agricultural land use. However, planting trees will reduce an estimated amount of 200 tCO2 in the area, while also improving the water quality and biodiversity. Our efforts in this project will  also create revenue for low-income landowners. The water quality will also benefit because reforestation minimizes soil erosion and absorbs farm chemicals from surface runoff and groundwater. 

We’ve come a long way and we’re more confident than ever about the role we're playing to address sustainability and other important environmental challenges.We invite you to join us on our journey by:

Give back to your Earth!

 Recycling, festivals, and hikes are just a few of the events lined up for this Earth Day. There are several ways you can celebrate Earth Day and our favorite way is volunteering! We admire action and so we encourage you to get on out there and consider taking part in these great events. 



Join the Green Festival team to help educate the public on how to recycle their trash. For your service you will receive free admission all weekend, 10% discount off Green America stores and the opportunity to listen into over 125 speakers and attend workshops!










This April 26 join Million Trees NYC on their to quest to reach the million mark of trees planted. With more than a thousand community volunteers and the NYC Parks Department 20,000 trees could be planted. 





Shop and Plant

Join ABC Home this Earth Day by planting trees while you shop. For every in–store purchase at the 888 Broadway store, ABC will plant a tree with The Carbon Poverty Reduction Program, led by Professor Wangari Maathai’s Green Belt Movement. Shoppers will also receive a plantable bookmark, made of biodegradable eco-paper and embedded seeds, so you can make your imprint on the environment from your home.




Build a Homemade Solar Oven

Build your own solar oven out of a pizza box and actually cook food in it. You and your family could learn all the benefits of solar power firsthand while enjoying a good slice of pizza!







                                                                                                                  Take the Lead


Take the lead this year and organize a group cleanup. Your few hours spent picking up trash could help transform your favorite neighborhoods or local parks.
