Overview

Preparing the Trail will develop our online Plant it-Forward-Project (PiFP).  In the fall of 2010 we will develop a mobile smartphone application that will allow our team of environmentally active athletes and green followers to post photos of planted trees, and automatically post these planted trees to a custom Google Map to virtually watch our trees grow!  These trees are then posted for adoption by other community supporters across Canada.

Preparing the Trail has 3 main objectives based on the triple bottom line that shine a positive light on the goals of the Pepsi Refresh Project.

1.  Improving the Health of our Communities by Greening & Participating in Outdoor Athletic Events
2.  Improving Air Quality, Promoting Alternative Transportation, Increasing Public Environmental Awareness
3.  Fundraising Through Our Interactive Online Plant-it-Forward Project (PiFP)

 

How will the $25K be used?
