LettUs Grow fundraising for cycle ride to Greentech Amsterdam
Last year, four keen cyclists from LettUs Grow cycled from London to attend Greentech in Amsterdam - the horticultural event that connects industry experts and innovators to share knowledge and network. Online calculators suggest that one flight from London to Amsterdam could generate between 99-130kg CO2 per person. So, the team managed to save up to 520kg CO2 from entering the atmosphere. That’s the equivalent of charging 63,254 smartphones.
This June, we’ll be taking on the journey again - and we’d like to use the opportunity to support some fantastic charities.
Introducing: the Greentech Grand Tour fundraiser 2023!
We’ve decided to raise money for two charities: one local charity, Caring in Bristol, that does incredible work supporting homeless communities and people in our home city, and the WWF Climate Crisis Fund, which supports vital projects to help protect our incredible natural world. We’d be very grateful if you could support our cycle by donating to our chosen charities on our JustGiving page.
We’ll be doing the journey over two days, with approximately 88 miles covered on day 1, followed by a further 55 miles after taking the ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland. Keep an eye out on our socials on the lead up to the ride on the 11th June to find out more.
And of course, if you were interested in joining us for all or part of the journey, then reach out. Our friend Michael said, “I had such a great time on the Greentech Grand Tour 2022 that I quit my job to cycle across Central America!”
