The TerraPass Footprint

Baatar Hero was just featured on TerraPass’ blog, The TerraPass Footprint!

The write up explains a little bit about the Mongol Rally and details the multi-facted approach we are taking to reducing our impact, including carbon offsets, solar power, UV water purification, and sporting Keen’s sustainable hybrid footwear.

Thanks to TerraPass for helping us reduce our carbon footprint. When we are on the road status posts will include miles traveled, MPG, gas consumed and carbon output at regular intervals.

And congrats to TerraPass for being honored as #1 carbon offset company for the 2nd year in a row by Greenopia for the quality and transparency of their portfolio.

Another TV Interview!

Baatar Hero is very excited to be featured on King5’s new morning program “New Day Northwest” this Wednesday, along with our sister Seattle team Just A Steppe Away. This time around, Jean Kim will represent BH on stage and will be interviewed by esteemed former Dateline NBC anchor and Mercy Corps executive Margaret Larson.

BH and JASA will be seated in the studio audience along with current Mercy Corps director of communications, Joy Portella. Twenty-five very lucky middle school students of Amy’s will also be showing their support by being in the studio audience – the next generation of adventure-seeking charity rally participants perhaps?

Tune in to see the interview on King5, Wednesday, 5/26, at 11am!

Media Debut

Baatar Hero made its media debut today on NorthWest Cable News!

The whole team went down to the NorthWest Cable News studio this morning for our first interview with the press. We had a little tour of the production suite and got ready in the green room. We all got pretty excited when they showed the promo clip before a commercial break, and then they came in to get ready for the interview. Brian was interviewed by Cam Johnson in the clip above.
