Road Trip to The Green Light District!

Hello Fans,


This weekend, we decided to put a new twist on our traditional Road Trip. Instead of heading out of town, we visited an area in our home base of New Orleans called the Green Light District. The Green Light District is composed of six eco-friendly stores in a two block area of Magazine Street, a popular shopping destination. 


Our first stop on our hometown road trip was Spruce Eco-Studio, an eco-modern home decor store. The pieces in Spruce are beautiful!

Next door to spruce is Green Serene, an eco-lifestyle boutique. We all did some shopping at Green Serene! Amanda and Beckie each bought TOMS shoes and Carly bought a cute journal.

We also had a lot of fun trying on the vintage clothes and eco-friendly clothes at Branch Out! Branch Out also donated some cans for our campaign.

 Next, we stopped by UP/Unique Products. UP features artists that make beautiful pieces from recycled materials. We especially liked the lights made from recycled Mardi-Gras beads!

And finally, we paid a visit to Zukababy, a natural parenting boutique. The organic baby clothes were so adorable!

We had so much fun at our hometown Road Trip! Sometimes the best adventures can be found right in your own city. We want to thank all the store owners at Green Light District for their support! We can't wait to visit again!

Road Trip to Memphis!

Hello Fans! 


We visited our third tiger supporting school at the University of Memphis this weekend! We were so excited to be in Tennessee and to show off the CR-Z to all the University of Memphis fans.

Go Tigers! 

We had a lot of fun chatting with fans and collecting cans outside the stadium. We promoted our campaign and got to cheer on yet another Tiger team!

The University of Memphis was playing the University of Tennessee. Although the teams are huge rivals, we managed to find common ground between these two fans:

The Honda CR-Z even brings rivals together!

Thanks so much for having us, Memphis! We had a great time riding on recycling to your campus. We can't wait for our next adventure! 

Road Trip to LSU

Hello Blogosphere, 


This weekend the Road Trip Crew rode to another tiger-crazy University: Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. The trip is only an hour and a half away but Baton Rouge is totally different than New Orleans, and we loved it!

We had a great time showing off the awesome features of the CR-Z to our new friends at LSU! They loved the look and feel of the car and never wanted us to leave. We had a tough time getting them out of the car!

LSU is also home to Mike the Tiger, the LSU mascot! Mike lives in a beautiful enclosure outside the stadium and has lots of fans. He really is a beautiful creature and he reminded us just how important it is to protect the environment. We love Mike and are so excited to be working towards a "green" cause because we want to help Mike and all of our natural creatures thrive! 

Mike!

We had a great time at LSU and can't wait to go on our next adventure! We'll be heading to the University of Memphis next weekend so look out for updates and photos from our newest Road Trip with the Honda CR-Z.
