FOC is a green team.  Our sponsors are environmentally friendly (check out the ingredients on a Flatbread some time).  Our riders are environmentally conscious.  Cycling, by its very nature, is not great for the planet.  It is a disposable sport with new-hot-and-unattainable taking precedence over sustainable, durable and conscious.  With that in mind, this team will do its best to minimize its impact and maximize its efficiency. (That's what bike racing is all about anyway.)  Read our dispatches to find out how we're taking it easy on the planet. If you are a green business and are interested in sponsoring the team, or just a fellow traveller with some ideas on how we can do what we're doing better, contact us at agardner@middlebury.edu.
