Since July 1, 2012, The Rapid has been running a “Go for Green” promotion to encourage West Michigan residents to choose green commutes. The results in just over two months have been impressive:
To help reward local residents for their green actions, The Rapid’s partner, Ecology & Environment, Inc., (E&E) has given away over $2,200 in raffle prizes for green commutes. Karl F., an employee of a local company and “Go for Green” supporter recently won a $500 gift card. “I plan to use my Go for Green winnings to buy an iPod, a Keurig coffee maker and scuba diving gear,” he said. “It was really easy to register and participate in the promotion.” Additionally, The Rapid and E&E will be giving an iPad to the winner for August later this week.
The promotion continues through September 30, 2012, so there’s still time to sign up for a chance to win up to $500 in raffle prizes at the Go for Green webpage at http://therapid.greenride.com.
If you are an individual, sign up and join the promotion at http://therapid.greenride.com. If you are a local employer and would like to learn more about how your employees and members can participate, please contact The Rapid and Ecology & Environment, Inc. at the numbers below.
