In honor of International Environment Day this year, [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoomo-and-uber-eats) teamed up with [Renault Romania](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oui-oui-baguette-by-renault) to show off the Renault Zoe as an all-electric zero-emission vehicle.

Beyond just giving people the chance to ride in a super sustainable car for a short time, the brand partners took it a step further by having radio announcements name the car's passengers as the 'Eco Person of the Year.'

Since it has been found that [Millennials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windows-of-selfcare) crave both recognition and rewards, this inventive campaign manages to provide both to those who make a meaningful decision for the environment. In order to remind these rideshare customers of the impact they made, each received a diploma printed on seed paper that could be planted in order to keep their Earth-saving eco-friendly activities going.
