On May 31st, 2009 we are travelling from Vancouver to Columbia, a 6800km journey and doing it all fuel free, a combination of cycling, sailing, and perhaps the occasional walk; it will be epic to say the least.
Along the way, we intend to eat as locally as possible, watch our consumption of water and other goods, and be aware of the product’s packaging that we purchase. We are going to record everything so when we return we can determine our impact relative to the average Canadian’s over the same amount of time.
As information not spread is rather useless, we are then going to educate youth around British Columbia through workshops and presentations about how to live more sustainably. Seeing as we are merely borrowing the earth from our children, we feel that we must help them understand their impact on the world and teach them how to protect it.
