Trees

Giving you the opportunity to make a change that will grow into a difference. Switch to e-mail communications and Humana will donate to the Arbor Day Foundation to plant a tree. Together, we can help replant our nation's forests. It's easy!

  2. Select "My Profile" at the top of the page
  3. Select "My Communications Preferences" and choose to receive your communications through e-mail

Bicycles

Humana encourages bicycling through two programs:

B-cycle

B-cycle, a bike-sharing program that meets communities' transportation, health, and environmental needs. The program adapts to any size city, corporation, or campus. B-cycle is a collaboration between three major players in three industries: Humana, Trek Bicycle Corporation, and Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

FreewheelinSM

FreewheelinSM, a cultural movement and philosophy that engages people in a personally and environmentally healthy transportation mode.

Freewheelin had a great ride at the Democratic and Republican national conventions: Freewheelers from all 50 states and various countries pedaled their way to some impressive stats in just eight days:

  • 7,523 bike rides
  • 41,724 miles ridden
  • 1,293,429 calories burned
