Go For a Ride Day

On November 22, take out your car, bike, segway, unicycle, kayak, horse or your tractor for a spin because it is Go For A Ride Day.

While the origins of this made-up holiday are unknown, we can safely assume that it encourages people to get out of the house and take a ride. Go For a Ride Day is the perfect excuse to explore parts of your neighborhood and town that you have never seen before or to take a long, aimless road trip across the state or country.

How to Celebrate?

• Gather your friends and family members and take a ride out of the city to the countryside. Pack a picnic lunch along and commune with nature.
• Participate in a bike or car rally or race.
• Take a ride in your car to the nearest amusement park and spend the day enjoying some amusement rides.
• Don’t own a vehicle? Don’t worry, take a ride in your local public transport.

The Thursday before Thanksgiving day is Use Less Stuff Day.

In anticipation of some of the year’s biggest and busiest shopping days in the United States – Black Friday and Cyber Moday, the unofficial holiday encourages people to buy and use fewer things in order to reduce environmental waste and lower their energy use.

25% More Trash

The holiday was created as a response to the huge amounts of trash created by people around the U.S. during the holiday season that begins with Thanksgiving day and ends with New Year celebrations. Some estimates show that trash production in the U.S. increases by 25% during the winter holiday season. This means that American families generate about 4 to 5 million ton of extra waste in just a matter of a month!

FYI

…that about 38,000 miles of ribbon is used and discarded around the holidays every year? This is enough ribbon to tie a bow around the Earth!
