MWV GREEN ZONE


         

DOMINION RIVERROCK IS OFFICIALLY A 'GREEN' EVENT

The Mead WestVaco Green Zone at Dominion Riverrock aims to educate festival attendees on how they can act to minimize their collective impact on the environment. The MWV Green Zone showcases environmentally friendly products, practices, services and ideas.  Festival sponsors and non-profit organizations will educate and engage the athletes and spectators, inviting them to take action toward a more  sustainable future.  The “greening” of Riverrock is paramount given the festival’s clear focus on the river and the James River Park System. 

Dominion Green Power has purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs) on behalf of Dominion Riverrock to help green this event

PEDAL POWER

Dominion Riverrock welcomes Pedal Power to Dominion Riverrock! Pedal Power is an interactive way to demonstrates simple steps residents can take to reduce energy consumption and have a positive impact on the environment. Did you know that the power created from pedaling a bicycling can cook food? Or power a 75-100 Watt lightbulb? As the tires turns, it spins a wheel creating electricity.
