Bike maintenance courses

"...We gratefully take donated bikes and parts that are not going to be used. Tools, oil, WD40 and small donations also accepted, but most of all, we'd like your company while fixing bikes and help keeping the workshop going. We do not sell second hand bikes at the moment but we can help you find people that do, so feel free to ask. The main reasons we don't are that we would rather have your help than your money..." from the (Newtown) Bike Club blog

Australian Goodwill Bicycles Abroad

"By being involved in a goodwill gesture, based on compassion people feel a greater sense of self worth. By recycling Australian unwanted bicycles to those less fortunate in other countries is a worthwhile cause. In assisting the less fortunate acts of charity are always smiled upon and this is an easy exercise to make a difference in a person's life..."

Samsoe - 140% carbon negative

Put Samsoe, Denmark on the top of your list of places to see before you die

"OPEC imposed an oil embargo against the U.S. and the Netherlands for supporting Israel's war against Syria and Egypt, and nearly quadrupled the price of petroleum for everyone else. The U.S. at the time imported about 35 percent of its oil; Denmark imported more than 90 percent. Keenly aware of their vulnerability, the Danes spent the next 30 years figuring out how to secure an energy-independent future, all without nuclear power, which parliament outlawed in 1982.

Now, remarkably, Denmark is about 150 percent self-sufficient. A net exporter of energy—most of it oil and natural gas from the North Sea—it also sells wind power to it neighbors..."

"...The bottom line: Samsø is 140 percent carbon negative, while virtually the rest of the universe except for off-the-grid pockets in a few communities and the solar-powered International Space Station is carbon positive to the tune of adding 27 billion metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere each year..."
