The aim of our overland tour has been to get to an internship
in India environmentally sound (e.g. no flights) and to promote bicycles and
Human Powered Vehicles (HPV) as multi purpose transport option. Our motivation arose from the desire to give an
example of alternative transport in our car-dominated world. Because of
encountered traffic situations along our way this desire grew even stronger. The dramatic growth of motorised transport causes
severe environmental and health problems all around the globe: -
Air
pollution -
Global
warming -
Environmental
disasters caused by exploitation, transport and refinery of fossil fuels like
oil (leaking oil pipes, oil spills from super tankers and so on) -
Traffic
collapse -
Serious
health hazards such as asthma or lung cancer and the lesser recognized
problems of noise and stress Since these problems are worsening every day it is
time to take action for alternatives!!!!!! An instant way
of action is riding a bicycle or any other Human Powered vehicle. The advantages
are numerous and are evident instantaneously: -
No
pollution -
No noise -
Keeping
fit and healthy -
Very
economic -
Less
space required -
Fossil
free Especially in bigger cities the traffic situation
and the quality of life could be improved enormously. Take
your chance and pedal it!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
