Rock N’ Roll RideShare!
So many artists are going eco-friendly – whether they are responding to their fan base’s desires or using their own massive influence to drive the trend, it’s ALL good…the point is they are starting to make a difference…both in the eco-consciousness of the world and in the actual reduction of carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Bands like The Bare Naked Ladies and Dave Matthews have been really early, positive influencers.
One thing is for sure, when you really, really believe in something, it’s easy to be enthusiastic about it, just as so many musicians are about the eco-wave. And thankfully nowadays, when what you believe in is also very good for the planet, other people tend to get contagiously enthusiastic about it too. I believe everyone CAN make a difference in reducing car emissions in different ways for example, you don’t need to just drive a hybrid (especially like this one!), you can also choose to share rides.
Over the last several months, we’ve been working very hard at forming new rideshare partnerships for PickupPal. Let me say that it has been REALLY refreshing to see and hear the overwhelmingly positive response we are getting when we reach out to connect with new potential rideshare partners. Whether it’s concert and festival producers; sports series directors or corporate sustainability folks, time and time again I hear…”This is GREAT!!! Thanks so much for your call. Timing is perfect.” In most cases, I barely have a chance to talk about the benefits when I hear them say “parking is a nightmare; traffic is a headache; WE WANT TO GO GREEN!”
It is clear to me from these conversations that the eco-consciousness of the world is changing around us, and changing very rapidly… I just bought The 11th Hour and watched it last night…and more than ever I’m convinced we CAN fix the problems in time, and that EVERY little action helps to do this. We may be down 2 games in the Stanley Cup Final, but we can bring it back. The wave of momentum is here to stay and growing every day.
