Get ready for some extra green, literally! From June 17th, Copenhagen and its surrounding areas are joining forces for a nine-week eco-friendly adventure. Over 90 establishments, including museums and the Copenhill ski slope atop a waste incineration plant, are hopping aboard this sustainable bandwagon.
Remember that eco-reward program tested back in 2024? Well, it was a hit! A local boat rental manager shared, "Over 500 people flocked to nab that offers of 60-minute free boating trips and harbor clean-ups." Although the 2021 details are scant, it's no secret that 75,000 tourists harnessed the power of green behavior that year, with bike rentals seeing a 29% growth in a single trial month. Not to mention the collection of several tons of trash and an impressive 98% satisfaction rate!
