Why We LOVE The CR-Z!

Check out our new video showing off some of the coolest features of the Honda CR-Z! 

Road Trip to Auburn

Hello Blog Fans, 

This weekend the Road Trip Crew took their "Riding on Recycling" campaign to Auburn University. The Crew had a great time on their road trip and were able to really experience the Honda CR-Z on their six hour journey to Auburn. One of our favorite features of the CR-Z is the ECON mode that allows the car to ride partially on battery power for great fuel mileage. The Crew used this mode during their entire trip and were really impressed by the CR-Z's great fuel economy. We rode at an average of 40 MPG during the trip!

Before our trip, we created some recycling bins especially for our campaign that featured our new Riding on Recycling campaign logo. We had so much fun using our recycling campaign to connect with our new friends at Auburn and to promote the Honda CR-Z.

One of the highlights of the trip was that the Road Trip Crew was able to reach a very wide audience at Auburn. From students to adults alike, the Crew spread the word about the CR-Z and their goal to "Ride on Recycling". The spirited Auburn fans were happy to help in our recycling efforts.

Auburn University also had a great recycling program that is publicized all throughout campus. We were inspired by this program and hope to bring this eco-friendly mindset back to Tulane University. We really enjoyed our Road Trip and can't wait to "Ride on Recycling" again next weekend! 

Week 2 Update

Hello Blog Fans! 


The CR-Z Road Trip Crew has been very busy this week! First, we held a great event outside the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house at Tulane University. We parked the CR-Z outside the house and let our visitors check out the car.

We also provided soda at the event and encouraged visitors to recycle their cans to support our cause.

After the Kappa event, we had enough cans to go and visit the Uptown Recycling Center in New Orleans. We were very excited to see how much money we had made by collecting cans all week! 

Check out all those cans!

We were very excited to find out that we had collected enough cans to raise $10 to support our upcoming road trip to Auburn University. We had so much support from our fans this week and had a great time promoting the Honda CR-Z!

$10 = Success! 

Week 1 Update

Hello All! 


It's only Tuesday and already this week has been a great success for the Honda CR-Z Road Trip Crew! This past weekend was the homecoming game at Tulane University. This game included a University sponsored tailgate and Beckie and Carly took advantage of this opportunity to start our can collecting effort. They had a great time collecting cans and promoting the Honda CR-Z Road Trip. It was an awesome jump start to our adventure!

Then, on Monday afternoon, we were so excited to celebrate the arrival of our brand new, sparkling, silver Honda CR-Z! It is beautiful and such a great car to drive!

We cannot wait to start Road Trip 2010! So keep collecting those cans and help us get ready to ride. Thanks for the support!

Hello Blogosphere!

We are very excited to announce the start of the Honda CR-Z Road Trip 2010. I'd like to begin with a short introduction of the Road Trip Crew: My name is Amanda, and I, along with my partners Beckie and Carly, are currently seniors in the A.B Freeman School of Business at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. We are so excited to be able to drive the amazing new Honda CR-Z for the next six weeks and are looking forward to telling you all about our adventures! We will be posting all sorts of tidbits about the CR-Z as well as some more fun info about ourselves, so keep checking in to learn more! We'd also love to hear feedback from you and any advice or fun tips you may have to help us on our journey. 

This is the plan: each weekend for the next six weeks, we will be road tripping throughout the South in our Honda CR-Z hybrid. We will visit a different University each weekend and will fund our gas expenses with recyclables collected at each stop! We will be relying on the support of students and fans alike at each school to help us fund our trip by collecting cans. So, if we're heading your way, please start collecting as many cans as possible so we can turn our plan into a reality and fund our gas expenses with only recycled cans! 

Look out for us at Louisiana State University, University of Mississippi, University of Houston, University of Memphis, and Tulane University. 

Thanks so much for all the support. We can't wait to see you at YOUR school! 

Let's ride!
