Our Energy Playground is ready to make its debut on the UCLA campus for the 26th annual JazzReggae Festival. Jump on the Tour De Energy Bikes and Energy See Saw to produce energy that will be stored in a lithium ion battery storage, Energy Well. All the electricity produced will be routed into our Energy Well before reaching its final destination- the snow cone machine. Our goal is to get you to learn about energy and burn off that brownie you ate earlier in the day. If you don’t have plans for Memorial Day Weekend, now you do.

Faster than driving, able to leap congested roads in a single bound, it’s that time of year for the Tour Rider Program at the Hollywood Bowl! That’s right—with plenty of public transportation options in L.A., Global Inheritance continues its Tour Rider program in 2012 with Coldplay, The Beach Boys, Aerosmith, Jason Mraz + many more Spring/Summer/Fall.

This program offers some of the coolest prizes around to the traffic-savviest of Tour Riders: movie screening passes, Lucky Strike bowling tickets, museum passes, band shirts, music, and more! What is a Tour Rider? Tour Riders are people who take the Metro, Park and Ride Shuttles, or bikes to attend Hewitt/Silva lease concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. What better way to enjoy this legendary venue than by riding with other fans?

Our Polar Bears plan to keep a safe distance from Sea World, but the rest of the team are excited to return to San Diego for Greenfest! On Saturday, April 28th, look out for Polar Bears serving up snow cones on the San Diego State campus, but only if you burn a few calories first! Jump onto our Energy See Saws or Tour De Energy bikes to crank out enough energy to power the snow cone machine, your cell phones or even an ipad. Nothing like an ice-cold snow cone after a working up a sweat! Enjoy the festival and remember to stop by and say hello. Don’t worry, our Polar Bears don’t bite too hard.

On April 30th, The Great Recycle begins in New York City to boost recycling rates and reward motivated individuals. In a show of support for Mayor Bloomberg’s pledge to double recycle efforts by 2017, Global Inheritance will partner with Honest Tea to place a 30-foot tall recycling bin in Times Square and attempt to crowd-source recycle more than 45,000 plastic, glass and aluminum beverage containers in ten hours. The plastic bottles collected will be recycled into essential gardening supplies including shovels, watering cans and plastic lumber, which will be used to build and cultivate an urban garden for PS 102, an elementary school in Harlem.
People who bring bottles/cans down to “The Great Recycle” will be awarded points for each bottle/can. These points can be redeemed at the onsite TRASHed Recycling Stores between 8am – 6pm. Prizing includes bottles of Honest Tea, Loomstate organic jeans, tickets to sporting events, concerts + lots more.

Remote TRASHed Recycling Store locations can also be found that day on the campuses of NYU, Columbia and FIT.

Robotic T-Rex is the original mechanical bull but don’t expect a ride unless you’re planning an early retirement. Since this is the wild west, T-Rex is rolling with his entourage to assist in running the TRASHed Recycling Center. Yes, we will be offering the best stuff you’ve seen this side of the Mississippi in exchange for bottles/cans that T-Rex will happily digest.
