Since their founding in 2002 by Eric Ritz, Global Inheritance has produced interactive educational programming at festivals, universities, and other large events catering to young audiences.
[1] Ritz wanted an organization that would bridge the gap between environmental causes and everyday people, hoping to use creativity to spark an interest in the issues and inspire action.
[2] Soon, Ritz was traveling to events to install environmentally-aware performance art like the Jiffy Pop tree at Coachella, and by the summer of 2009, Global Inheritance was able to hire two paid employees for the first time.
[1] Global Inheritance partnered with Bill Silva Presents and Andy Hewitt in 2005 to bring Tour Rider to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Concertgoers who used public transportation to arrive at the venue could stop by the Tour Rider booth to receive prizes in exchange for their environmentally friendly behavior.
Starting in 2006 at the ESPN X Games, Global Inheritance introduced a new program that allows participants to race miniature RC cars that ran on alternative fuels and power sources.
Costumes for the "causes" include Hummers as pawns, factories as rooks, coal as knights, lobbyists as bishops, trash as queen, and an oil derrick as king.
"Cure" costumes included bicycles as pawns, recycling bins as rooks, solar panels as knights, scientists as bishops, a tree as queen, and a wind turbine as king.
