Tour de Green
The target(s) of my cheering in this year's Tour de France is the Discovery Channel team. Not only does DC host American greats like George Hincapie and Levi Leipheimer , the team is taking a unique stand against pollution by going green during the opening prologue.
In addition to some sweet green kits (wondering, though, where they were made/where the fabric came from), the team will be planing trees based on successful stage finishes and will offset the carbon output of the vehicles used in the race as well as the output created from its corporate employees and daily business.
This is a great effort on a world stage, to remind people that we can all truly do our part. Kudos to Discovery Channel for leading the charge and standing strong at third after today's crazy stage two.
