Wolf River Day Recap

Wolf River Day was hosted by the Wolf River Conservancy to help bring issues of the environment and sustainability to the forefront through its theme “It’s Cool to Go Green”. We were there to share information about Revolutions with hundreds of visitors. We also organized a bicycle decorating booth that allowed children to put stickers and streamers on their bikes as well as playing cards in their spokes. We then led the nosiest “motorcycle” gang of kids down the V&E Greenline on a bicycle parade.

Sustainable Shelby Kickoff Party Recap

Shelby County Mayor AC Wharton congratulated all participants that helped create the plan and officially released the plan that will help shape policies and programs that will help Shelby County grow into the future by remaining conscious of the environment. Anthony represented Revolutions throughout the planning process to ensure that bicycle/pedestrian concerns and issues were addressed and put into the final draft strategies. At the event Daniel Pieper and I allowed participants to help break down a bicycle.
