Background
In 1848 gold was discovered in the American River. The ensuing California Gold Rush was one of the most environmentally destructive campaigns in the history of mankind. Permanently changing the ecological landscape of much of the state. Setting a standard for the past 150 years where many industries had been based around exploiting natural resources. Now California is on the forefront of the Green Revolution. People, Companies, Industries, Educators and Businesses are seeking ways to live more harmoniously in their environment and sustain the last of our natural resources. Now is the California Green Rush!
Cali Rush is a response to the urgent and growing need for a reduction in green house gasses and harmful carbon atmospheric pollutants. It’s a way to help promote the new and developing Green Movement in California and promote athletes who are searching for a more harmonious path with your natural world.
