May 2025 marked another successful National Bike Month for EnviroScience, as employees in our regional offices across the U.S. embraced cycling to promote health, sustainability, and team spirit. We logged over 1,027 miles, surpassing our collective goal, reinforcing our commitment to environmental excellence and employee wellness.

Achieving Our Cycling Goals

Our company-wide challenge, sponsored by our Corporate Responsibility Committee, aimed for 1,000 miles throughout May. Thanks to enthusiastic participation, we exceeded this target, culminating in 1,027 biked miles. This achievement not only reflects our dedication to fitness but also underscores our environmental impact:

  • 384 kilograms of CO₂ emissions avoided
  • Equivalent to charging over 47,000 smartphones
  • Comparable to the carbon sequestered by 6–7 tree seedlings over a decade

Recognizing Top Riders

We extend our congratulations to the standout cyclists for this year’s exciting event:
