In 2008, Joey Feinstein founded Climate Cycle in Chicago out of a concern that youth didn't have the tools necessary to respond to global warming or benefit from the emerging green economy. Joey found that many share his passion, and he now works with a dedicated team. Volunteers and community alliances are at the heart of our organization and our partnerships include Motorola Foundation, Chicago Public Schools, local schools, government, green businesses and individuals.
Our inaugural bike-a-thon in May 2009 raised $67,000; this shows the impact we can have when working together for just one year. Of the participating Chicago Public Schools, six showed tremendous enthusiasm and support in the 2009 Solar Schools Ride and as a result are recipients of solar panels and Climate Cycle programming. This year, we hope to triple our impact and giving.
The Chicagoland Office also serves as the headquarters for Climate Cycle, a grassroots organization that is growing to have a national presence. The Chicago office welcomes schools from across the Chicagoland area to participate in its Solar Schools Ride and apply to become a Solar School.
