As a regular contributor here at CleanTechnica, I’m always on the lookout for the next big thing in sustainable living, electric vehicles, and innovative gear that helps us tread lighter on our planet. This summer, I’m taking that search to the open road in a big way — quite literally.
My family and I are gearing up for an epic two-week RV adventure from late June into early July. We’ll be crossing some of America’s most iconic natural landscapes, from the majestic Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the winding beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway to the historic charm of the Natchez Trace Parkway, with plenty of state parks and even a stretch of classic Route 66 in between.
This isn’t just a vacation; it’s a living laboratory. We’ll be traveling in our travel trailer, powered mostly by sunshine, and exploring with our trusty e-bikes at key stops. We also love boondocking (camping away from hook-ups), constantly seeking ways to maximize our energy efficiency and minimize our environmental footprint while experiencing the beauty of the Eastern U.S.
Your Product, Our Adventure: A Perfect Match for CleanTechnica’s Readers
This journey provides an unparalleled opportunity to put sustainable outdoor gear and clean technology products through real-world paces. Our CleanTechnica readers are deeply interested in solutions that enable adventure while respecting the planet. They don’t just want numbers. They want to know:
- How does it perform when living off-grid?
- Does it genuinely save energy or resources?
- Is it durable enough for life on the road?
- How does it contribute to a greener lifestyle?
We’re looking for innovative products that fit seamlessly into an RV-based, family-oriented, e-bike-powered adventure. Possibilities include:
- Portable power solutions: Solar chargers, small battery banks, portable power stations.
- Energy-efficient appliances: Induction cooktops, low-power refrigeration, efficient lighting.
- Smart connectivity solutions: Cellular boosters, portable Wi-Fi that keeps you connected sustainably.
- Sustainable outdoor gear: Camping essentials made from recycled materials, eco-friendly cooking solutions, water filtration that reduces waste.
- Micromobility: Compact electric scooters, unique e-bike accessories that enhance the experience.
What Your Company Gains
By sending us your product and sponsoring the review article, you’re not just getting a review; you’re getting a visual narrative that resonates with an audience passionate about cleantech and sustainable living.
- Authentic, Real-World Testing: We don’t just unbox; we live with your product on the road, providing practical, honest feedback from genuine users.
- Stunning Photography & Video: Our trip through national parks and scenic byways provides incredible backdrops for compelling visuals of your product in action. My photographic style (you can see examples here) will highlight your product’s appeal.
- Targeted Exposure: Reach thousands of highly engaged CleanTechnica readers who are actively seeking sustainable solutions for their homes, vehicles, and adventures.
- Compelling Storytelling: We’ll craft a detailed, engaging article explaining how your product enhances a sustainable, adventurous lifestyle, going beyond mere specifications — provided the products do work well.
Benefits to Partnering on a Sponsored Story
Partnering with CleanTechnica on this journey is about more than just having someone do a quick product review and then moving on to the next one. Many products that get reviewed for free online end up gathering dust on a shelf or on Craigslist.
This collaboration wouldn’t work like that. A sponsorship provides the benefit of reviewing the draft prior to publication to catch any mistakes or misrepresentations. Sponsored content also receives additional promotion within CleanTechnica (pinning the post, etc.) and promotion on our social media channels.
In other words, this becomes YOUR story, not just another quick review.
