This week Citizen Watch fans, Habitat for Humanity supporters, Revolve spin enthusiasts, leading members of the press and blogosphere– and even a few passers by cycled together right in the center of New York’s Flatiron district to Illuminate the Earth! And guess who else joined them too!! You got it right, yours truly was right there in the action helping reduce our carbon footprint and lighting up the world.
A circle of stationary bikes surrounded a globe that dramatically lit from within as the bikers peddled faster. Citizen made a donation to Habitat for Humanity in honor of each participant for a total of $12k.
What better way to celebrate Earth Day than ride with a company that is all about the environment and has found a solution to cause less waste by not have batteries go to a land fill.
The event celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Citizen Eco-Drive technology which powers watches by light, enabling those who wear Citizen to avoid polluting the earth with discarded watch batteries.
It was wonderful to be part of this event and see the change of time as the light shifted throughout the night. The energy from everyone peddling has certainly lit up the world.
Now you can join us all in celebrating Earth Day today by sharing this inspirational little video! Citizen will donate an additional $.40 per share up to another $8k donation to support Habitat for Humanity in lighting up the lives of New Yorkers in need with new and refurbished homes to call their own.
Do your part and share this video to support those in need.
What did you do on Earth Day to better the environment?
Wow what an amazing experience to be a part of.
That is so neat! My grandsons would love to see those lights!
WOW! This is incredible! I think this is a good way to help a Charity and I wish they had something like this in my town.
