P.E.D.A.L. to the Metal

Some people just don't know the definition to think small. To wit, a group from Guelph will be biking to British Columbia, down the west coast of the US, then east to the Texas Mexican border and south through much of Central America to promote sustainability. Here's infor about the group, Pollinating Experiences, Documenting Action and Learning, plus, infor about a fundraising event they're having next weekend.

P.E.D.A.L. Across the Americas is a project started by a dynamic group of youth who will cycle the length and breadth of North and Central America, departing June 19th, 2010. The primary purpose of the tour is to document and publicize sustainable livelihoods being practiced across the Americas in a range of social, political, economic, and environmental climates.

Through this tour we resolve to illustrate that sustainability is accessible to everyone and that people living in a variety of conditions can make meaningful contributions to planetary health. We aim to weave a network along our route connecting what we call “sustainability models”: those individuals, families, communities, and organizations that develop and demonstrate successful sustainable and socially conscious living initiatives. The intent is to empower the public at large in transitioning to sustainable lifestyles, and to facilitate the sharing of relevant resources and information. Ultimately, we intend to aid others in their journeys toward sustainability by publicizing what we learn so that people across the continent can take significant and permanent strides towards forming a sustainable society.
