Stocking Stuffer for the Runner in Your Life!

The Annapolis Green HydraPouch® is a great way for runners hydrate quickly, cleanly, and with a minimum of effort while saying NO! to the litter of the paper cup during races.

The HydraPouch® eliminates the problem of trying to drink from a paper cup while running or jogging:

Get your drink in you, not on you.
Carry it and sip it - no more gulping or choking.
Eliminate cups on long club training runs.
Reduce or eliminate cups at race aid stations.

The branded Annapolis Green HydraPouch® is being sold at:

It's Not Too Late To:

 

1. Recycle those old, broken or working, incandescent lights! Save energy and money by taking those light strings to either of two of our Founding 100 Sponsors, MOM's Organic Market in Bowie or K&B True Value in Annapolis. Either way you'll save some cash and be kind to the environment!

 

At MOM's, 6824 Race Track Road in Bowie, bring in your old lights and receive a coupon for 15% off LED lights from an online company. The deadline is January 31. Information  

 

At K&B True Value bring in your lights and receive $4 off a new LED light set (limit 5 per customer). Today, Monday, December 15, is the last day! See the advertisement below.

2. Support Local Businesses. Shop downtown, in Eastport, West Annapolis, and along Forest Drive. Local businesses are the lifeblood of our community. Show them some love by doing your shopping with them instead of the chain stores!

3. Donate to Annapolis Green! 

We are a grass roots organization filling a unique niche... we are helping to build a sustainable community by promoting and working toward a clean environment and a strong local economy.

 

We increase awareness of and celebrate the work of others who do good for our environment and add our own programs too. Your contribution will help us build on the foundation of this year's great work! See our 2014 accomplishments below.

You'll be building a cleaner, more aware, more beautiful, and stronger community for you and those who come after us.

 

Thank you! 

Annapolis Green's 2014 Accomplishments

 

Social Networking - in person - Green Drinks Annapolis!

 

We're brought the community together, as no other organization does, with Green Drinks... happy hours that not only help you get to know like-minded people, but also teach you something in a fun way and support local venues.

 

Celebrated the 100th edition of Living Green in Annapolis on WNAV

We've brought you relevant radio content on the environment and related issues every week for over two years - all archived on our website

 

Responsible Events & Festivals: Make the Right Call!

We brought recycling and composting to many major events including the Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast (composting of over 20,000 pounds of food waste that would otherwise have gone to the landfill), the 2014 J/80 World Championship regatta and the inaugural Across the Bay 10K.

 

Run Responsibl(TM)

Launch of promotion for clean, litter-free running races and sale of HydraPouch® product to keep running races litter-free.

 

Keep America Beautiful Affiliation

Soon we'll be a part of this venerable, 60-year old organization extending our reach with beautification projects designed to connect "Beautiful" with "Clean and Green."

 

Do Good. Have Fun.

Clean-up of Ellen O. Moyer Back Creek Nature Park, with dozens of volunteers planting, cleaning, and mulching in the morning and celebrating in the afternoon.

 

Major Promotions

Including Annapolis in Bloom, Project Clean Stream, and many events sponsored by other local groups

 

It takes funds to build a community and it's best when the funds are home-grown, from people like you who have a stake in the Annapolis area. Join with us to build a sustainable, healthy, enjoyable community.


Support Annapolis Green on #GivingTuesday and tell your friends you did!

 

Your gift, in any amount, will help us build a stronger program for 2015 alerting the community about issues like these: Stormwater, oysters, clean air, clean water, rain barrels, water pollution, solar power, electric vehicles, energy conservation, pesticides, clean energy, wind power, Chesapeake Bay cleanup effort, climate change, rain gardens, local businesses, legislation, governmental policies, environmental literacy, and more.

 

Be part of this community! It's easy.
