THE “GREENUP” CAMPAIGN GreenUp means greening our economy with the help of citizens. GreenUp provides resources to citizens to help them connect their daily choices with supporting a Green Economy. More than 20 public transportation companies across Europe joined forces with UNEP in a specific GreenUp action to promote sustainable transport choices among commuters. Part of UNEP’s GreenUp initiative, the “Let’s Travel Together” campaign was launched at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), and encouraged commuters to take everyday action so as to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles. Sustainable transport tips reached 500,000 Facebook users in July 2012. GreenUp continues to give daily tips for more sustainable lifestyles to its 10,000 fans and followers.
