Green Skate Global Green Skateboarding Day
GreenSkate is a grassroots event that started from a simple idea: Celebrate and encourage the low impact of longboard skateboards on our environment as a form of effective transportation.
On Earth Day 2007 Calgary Alberta Canada was the host to the first GreenSkate Event. It may come as a surprise that a community of longboarders surrounded by the Calgarian oil and gas industry would feel sympathetic to any green cause; however the Speedboard and Longboard Association of Calgary couldn't be any more ambitious. GreenSkate is being expanded to include the global skateboard community. Everyone who skateboards in every city around the world is invited to participate in GreenSkate 2008.
Energy and environmental issues are on the global stage more than ever. Earth Day is a great time for longboarders to take to the streets to promote longboarding as a fast, environmentally friendly and sustainable form of urban transportation. Be a part of GreenSkate! Earth Day 2008 is on April 22nd. We are looking for volunteers to organize Greenskates in cities around the world. If you are interested in organizing a GreenSkate event please visit our website www.greenskate.org for more information.
