The Environmental Journey is Underway Nathan is on the road.  On May 10, 2009, Lancaster, Pennsylvania native, Nathan Winters hopped on his bike to unite his love of nature with his love of exploration hoping to draw attention to support the conservation of land and nature.   Belfast, Maine was his launching point and he’ll finish across the continent in Seattle. “I will be embarking on a 4,000 mile bike ride across America to raise support and awareness to the importance of land and nature conservation. My goal is to Raise $50,000 for the Nature Conservancy and educate my followers on the importance of living a more sustainable lifestyle.” In March, I stumbled across the Follow Nathan website and blogged about his adventurous eco-mission.  Earth Promise  was even lucky enough to interview Nathan before he embarked on his ride. Being an avid cyclist and eco-conscious person myself, I found Nathan’s idea nothing less than inspiring.  Now I keep up with his whereabouts via facebook  and twitter  .  Thanks to his main sponsor, Greenopolis it is simple and fun to live vicariously through Nathan.  Greenopolis explains, “We’ll be following Nathan every mile of his route, with a map to track his progress, daily blogs, photos and video reports of the people he meets and the places he visits along the way! He’ll be spotlighting recycling, reuse, conservation and all the ways everyday folks across North America are transforming waste to resources in their own unique ways.” Be sure to donate to keep Nathan’s environmental awareness ride going and to help support the Nature Conservancy.
