Cycle & Recycle Calendars 2008

As in previous years we are delighted to be distributing the Cycle & Recycle Calendar 2008!

Cover

It's a unique publication, funded by 13 'co-publishers', including Velo Vision, with the remainder a mix of transport and cycling organisations from the US and Canada. This year's it's edited by Reykha Bonilla of Pedals for Progress. The emphasis is firmly on cycling and bicycles - including bikes re-used as looms or other tools, HPVs including water boats, and other fine images. As they say:

****
Cycle & Recycle is a celebration of all things sustainable, inspiring, curious and fun. "Why count the days?" we asked in an early edition. Well, because it’s useful, makes it easier if we want to plan something, meet someone... A calendar, like a bicycle, is practical. So why be practical? Let’s say for three reasons: 1) people like Ben Franklin and Gandhi were practical 2) by being practical, people will say we’re utopian 3) once word gets around that we’re utopian, we’ll be dismissed, have more time to ourselves, more quiet dinners with friends, rest.

Cycle & Recycle celebrates the high life on low energy (simple living at its best) and salutes the careful use & reuse of the world’s limited resources, like trees and paper. Reusable in the years 2036 and 2064, this is a calendar for our grandchildren. Think of it as a time-capsule for future generations, a way to gauge how far we’ve come, progressed, matured... While past calendars have been co-published primarily by cycling & recycling advocates, we hope to gradually extend the calendars reach by involving more renewable energy proponents, car sharing and farmers coops (like Farm to City) along with greenway and public transit advocates, urbanists and preservationists. To borrow and extend a thought from Franklin: a calendar saved is a calendar earned.
