About Us

GreenXC started as an organization of young professionals determined to make an impact on the preservation of National Parks and Forests. At the end of July, we set out on a three-week mission to get cross country using only ride-shares and conducted a national outreach and awareness campaign for parks and forests with the help of the USDA Forest Service.

Since then we have decided to broaden our scope to offer like-minded individuals a common place to gather to read tips and tricks on how to travel greener on a budget. We think travel should be for everyone. It is a necessity, not a luxury. We hope people will interact with one another, offer their tips and advice and enjoy the content that we provide to you on a daily basis.
