Keeping “Green” at Triathlons

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Jack & Adams Bicycles

It’s Earth Day so thoughts turn to ways of reducing, reusing and recycling. The Skeese Greets Women’s Tri and our other Texas Tri Series events have always tried to keep the environmental impact at a minimum. Here are some things we are doing:

 

*Recycling bins at the event.

*Goodie Bags are reusable.

*Goodie bags do not contain flyers, but instead a comprehensive guide with sponsor ads and pertinent information printed on recycled paper here in Texas.

*No single-use disposable plastic bottles for water or sports drink distributed at the finish line. We’ll provide reusable plastic bottles instead. They can be re-filled at the Water Monster.

*Green portable toilets that use non-toxic deodorizer.

*At least 80% of all marketing and participant communications facilitated through email or website updates instead of paper mail.

*We reuse at least 80% of all signage for the event.

*We reuse trash and recycling bins each year through all our events.

*Clothing/shoe/bike recycling/reuse program available at packet pickup and race site with Bicycle Re-Cycle.

*Carpooling option.

with more to come!

The Rookie Tri, Jack’s Generic Tri, adn Couples Tri, all part of the Texas Tri Series, also incorporate these practices.

Do you have any “green” ideas that you would like to see implemented at our events? Let us know!

Happy Earth Day!
