The Cycling for a Sustainable Future Tour is biking from Norwich,VT to the North Country Sustainable Energy Fair in Canton,NY celebrating Earth and community action. We travel 350 miles,because we believe that humanity can bring down our carbon dioxide emissions to what leading scientists urge us is the safe upper limit for our atmosphere: 350 parts-per-million.Along the way, we offer presentations on Radical Simplicity and climate change, and document Transition Town initiatives in communities.
