For Anyone! (Civic Groups, Travel Agents, Teachers, and More)
How to participate
- Make an extra effort to support participating HER businesses and organizations. Consider biking there on Thursdays. And even if you don’t cycle, show your appreciation by supporting them any day. (And if you think you might want to cycle…consider taking your bike via bus or other motor vehicle half-way, then bike the remaining distance. Great way to avoid parking problems in busy areas!)
- Share news of HER Helmet Thursdays at meetings or via newsletters, online social networking (i.e., Facebook) groups, and the like. Share it with economic and environmental sustainability groups, civic and faith-based groups, and other organizations.
- Tell others who are seeking a new volunteer project about this ecology-economy partnership. HER Helmet Thursdays is best built on existing relationships in the community as it also develops new partnerships. And it’s intended to expand steadily and continue long into the future. Neighborhood business associations, college students meeting community service hours, scouts working toward eagle rank, faith-based groups, and civic groups may want to be a part of helping this countywide program grow.
