To everyone who believes that everyday people can create a sustainable present and future, please consider this call-out for donations.
Is P.E.D.A.L. screeching to a halt? We hope not. Unfortunately, P.E.D.A.L.’s funding situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the project’s immediate future is uncertain. Additional funding is required to continue the project into the New Year.
We’ve made it almost 10,000 km from Ontario, Canada to Guadalajara, Mexico. But the best of P.E.D.A.L. Part II is yet to come. Check out the route map for a preview of what’s in store. Exciting new sustainability models are just around the corner in southern Mexico, waiting to be documented by our P.E.D.A.L.team. We’ve lined up projects in Mexico City and Oaxaca that focus on sustainable and local food production, as well as sustainable transportation and bike-friendly cities. We really want to share these initiatives with you, so much so that we’re willing to pay out of our own pockets to get to Oaxaca. But we can’t afford it all. We need some help!
Fortunately, we have you: our audience. We would prefer not to have to ask you for money, but we believe you care about the work P.E.D.A.L. does, so we’re coming to you for help. P.E.D.A.L. is asking for a Christmas present!

Any donation you can offer is wholeheartedly appreciated, and you will receive a tax-deductible receipt in return. To those of you who have already donated, you have our sincerest thanks.
Your donations allow us to continue to research practical, real-life sustainable living solutions. The first-hand research we do is then supported by thorough follow-up research to create comprehensive information about sustainability “Tools” that can make a difference in our day-to-day lives. Turning our initial research into a completed product takes a lot of time and work, but it’s starting to pay off: check out your sustainability TOOLKIT! for the first of many results of our work.
Oaxaca is currently our destination goal, but there are many more sustainability models between Oaxaca and P.E.D.A.L.’s original goal of Buenos Aires, Costa Rica. The money we raise will determine how far we can go, and how much knowledge we can share with the world.
The long-term work of P.E.D.A.L. and your sustainability TOOLKIT! won’t ever stop altogether, but our situation for next year is uncertain. Please help us to make 2012 our best year yet.
Thanks,
~The whole P.E.D.A.L. crew
