Event Description
2012 “Green Neighbor (Not Just) Bike Tours”
The Neighborhood Leaders Council Committee on Sustainability/NLCCoS is hosting our annual tours of neighborhood sustainability efforts. Now in our fifth consecutive summer, the tours have seen over 600 riders on over 30 different tours in 11 different city neighborhoods over the past 4 years. Hundreds of stops have been featured. This year we’ll feature first-time neighborhoods Santa Clara/Santa Clara Community Organization (SCCO), and South University (as part of the Amazon ‘hood tour Sept 9th). Previously known as the “green home bike tours,” these events have become the more accessible “Green Neighbor (Not Just) Bike Tours.” Please join us by bike, foot (some tours may be all or partially walkable), or pooled transport to visit neighborhood examples of gardening, permaculture, green energy, rainwater collection, beekeeping, chickenkeeping, community gardens, neighborhood cooperation, and more. Don’t see your neighborhood listed and might be interested in helping lead or organize a tour? Please contact Doug at deeblack@gmail.com.
