Why We Ride 2012 Launches

What Participants are Saying

“We can all make a big change in our community. We can save a lot of gas money by biking or using alternative methods of transportation that don’t use gasoline. I really liked learning about all the different places that have really cool bike paths, and healthier systems. I thought it was very inspirational, and could be applied to Santa Cruz. Overall, this experience was really helpful, and definitely makes me think twice when I say, “I can’t wait to drive.”

“ I think this is most important because many people don’t really care about the problem of global warming and pollution. They think it doesn't apply to them. When they find out that it does, and it will affect their lives drastically, then they will start to care more and put more effort into finding a solution.”
   – Green Ways to School student
Green Ways to School works with the youth of Santa Cruz County to build a culture of human powered transportation and advocate for transportation options. We believe that everyone is entitled to a transportation system that makes it easy and fun to get around, stay fit, build community and protect our planet. We provide classroom presentations, facilitate group rides, and coordinate special events at schools throughout the area.
