Cycle 4 Recycle project
CICLO de reciclaje de proyecto
Cycle 4 Recycle is a global initiative which aims to improve life on the planet. We all want to live in a more positive and caring society, but in order to achieve that every single person must believe that they are important and their work matters. Never mind if you are just a single person or a small community, everybody with ideas put into action is more than welcome to register and share their activity. For example, you can be the one teaching everybody in your neighborhood to sort their waste, or you can be the one who cleans the wild parts of the park, or you can just change your car with a bicycle. We know that everybody is full of ideas for better tomorrow and we want to see every single one applied. Let’s stop waiting for big organisations to put things in order, it is time to start taking action.

CYCLE AMERICAS START: 27/MAY/ 2015
- Total distance around 60'000 km (38'000 mi)
- "REcycle" expedition from Alaska to Argentina.
In June 2015 we are starting a cycling expedition from Alaska to Argentina which will spread across approximately 60'000 km. We are planning to cross all the countries in the Americas. During the “Cycle Americas” expedition we are going to adopt the role of researchers and explorers. The goal is to gather information and analyze the thinking and psychology of different social groups in regards to fuel production and consumption. We will also delve into the way people are feeling about natural preservation and protection and will examine their interactions with nature and the place it holds in their lives.
The title of the research is “Recycling of thinking”. We will also focus on the ways people from both continents manage and treat disposable packaging. We will investigate the way they understand and feel about global warming; and will look into their concept of the future for the planet and for themselves.
Cycling is a small step towards being healthy and moving around in an environmentally sound and inspiring way.
We are from a small country, which is not popular worldwide, but we believe that regardless of where you are, the important thing is how wide your eyes are open for life. Ultimately, great deeds are achieved by ordinary people.
What we will do during the expedition?
Why we choose Americas for our expedition?

Trash Freeway is a cross-country bike trip to understand and create awareness about the impact of food-related trash and waste.
trashfreeway.com
By meeting and listening to Americans along our route, we plan to gain a better understanding of individuals' lives and how their stories reflect the larger problem of trash in America. Specifically, we'll be engaging communities by creating a platform for dialogue about trash, food waste, and what it means to be sustainable, talking about their habits and perceptions about trash. We'll also be interviewing farmers, families, and whoever else we meet on the road. Another main component of our trip will be to leave no trash trail; this means wasting no food and reducing and reusing the packaging we do accumulate. In other words, we’ll be doing this trip the trash-free way.

We are a family of 5, and we have just radically changed our lives: Quit my job in June last year, started my own "paper free" business, downsized, then did it again radically - sold more stuff, finally ended contract on our house, sold the car in Dec, and now have bikes. We are getting ready to cycle around the world soon, and are "training" for it in Europe. One things I can not stand, is when I ride through natural parks and beautiful places and see a human footprint - rubbish everywhere.... I teach my kids that when we camp, travel etc, we leave NOTHING behind. No evidence we were there - wish others would do the same... A few days ago we were in a natural park that HAD BINS, and there was rubbish on the floor just meters away from the bin! So me and my boys picked it up and put it in the bin - are we Eco warriors? We can't wait to start riding. We want to give our children an amazing life adventure, and do humanitarian work on the way. Following your adventures too! www.beyondtreasure.co.uk Do you have a similar story? Share with us :) |

Somos una familia de 5, y que acabamos cambiado radicalmente nuestra vida: dejé mi trabajo en junio del año pasado, comencé mi propio negocio "libre de papel", primero reduciéndolo, y luego se hizo de nuevo radicalmente - vendiendo más cosas, finalmente terminamos nuestra casa, vendimos el coche en diciembre, y ahora tenemos bicicletas. Nos estamos preparando para recorrer todo el mundo pronto, y estamos "entrenando" para empezar en Europa. Una de las cosas que no soporto, es cuando paseo por los parques naturales y lugares hermosos y veo una huella humana - basura por todas partes .... Yo enseño a mis hijos que cuando acampamos, viajamos, etc, no dejamos nada atrás. No hay evidencia que estuvimos allí - deseo que los demás hicieran lo mismo... Hace unos días estábamos en un parque natural que tenía PAPELERAS, y había basura en el suelo ¡a pocos metros de la papelera! Así que yo y mis hijos la recogimos y la pusimos en la papelera - ¿Somos Eco guerreros? Estamos impacientes por empezar a montar. Queremos dar a nuestros hijos una aventura increíble de vida, y hacemos el trabajo humanitario en el camino. ¡Sigan nuestras aventuras! en www.beyondtreasure.co.uk ¿Tiene historias similares?

Free bike for a day for your empty cans and bottles
Students and staff of Universiti Putra Malaysia are cycling – and recycling – more these days thanks to the Recycle-to-Cycle green programme. AT Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdang, Selangor, it is not unusual to see staff members and students cycling around the campus. Some no longer rely on shuttle buses for transportation but on their two-wheelers. The green effort is part of the Recycle-to-Cycle project initiated in February last year by Prof Dr Ahmad Ismail, head of the biology department. It stemmed from a proposal by beverage company Coca-Cola, which wanted to conduct a campus activity to commemorate Earth Hour. However, Ahmad had a different idea; he wanted a project that would make an impact beyond an hour. More about: click here Do you have a similar story? Share with us :) |
Un día Gratis de bicicletas a cambio de sus latas y botellas vacías
Los estudiantes y el personal de la Universidad Putra Malaysia son el ciclismo - y reciclaje - más en estos días gracias al programa Recycle-to-Cycle. En la Universidad de Putra Malasia en Serdang, Selangor, no es raro ver a los miembros del personal y estudiantes en bicicleta por el campus. Algunos ya no dependen de autobuses para el transporte,van con sus dos ruedas. El esfuerzo verde es parte del proyecto de reciclaje al ciclo iniciado en febrero del año pasado por el Prof. Dr. Ahmad Ismail, jefe del Departamento de Biología. Se deriva de una propuesta presentada por la empresa de bebidas Coca-Cola, que quería llevar a cabo una actividad de campus para conmemorar la Hora del Planeta. Sin embargo, Ahmad tenía una idea diferente; él quería un proyecto que haría un impacto más allá de una hora. Mas información: Click aquí ¿Tiene historias similares?

The Isle of Wight group of Re-cycle: Bikes to Africa held the party to prepare donated cycles.
Eleven helpers spent a hours removing pedals and turning handlebars on the 190 bikes so they could be easily transported. Unwanted bikes had been dropped off over the last six months by members of the public at InnerSpaces Self Storage Solutions in Cowes, which stored them free until there were enough for a truckload. Volunteers prepared them for their journey to the mainland and loaded them on to a 7.5 tonne truck loaned free of charge by Bartletts Van Hire for a ferry crossing donated by Wightlink.

Once voluntarios pasaron horas para retirar los pedales y girar el manillar en las 190 bicicletas para que pudieran ser transportados fácilmente. Las Bicicletas habían sido dejadas en los últimos seis meses por los miembros del público en InnerSpaces Almacenamiento Soluciones en Cowes, que los almacenó gratis hasta que fueron suficientes para llenar un camión.
