  • Recycle-A-Bike?

    If you're concerned about what Schwinn is doing to the planet in the process of building you a shiny new cruiser, build one yourself. Lots of cities have terrific recycle-a-bike programs to help you get started. Here in Memphis, for instance, we've got a shop that will hook you up with all the pieces you need - used, of course - as well as some real nice shop space and quality instruction for just 40 bucks. Zero impact. Learn how to build a bike. Meet some new friends. Can't beat it.On Umbra on the impacts of biking posted 1 year, 5 months ago 21 Responses

  • Also!

    By pure (and rather strange) coincidence, I just came across this write-up on plastic-free water bottles from NRDC. It mentions SIGG, as well as a company called Kleen Kanteen. Worth checking out!
