Close the Loop

Project Outline:

Do It Better, Make It Better:
For this project we are progressing from small, to medium, and finally large-scale. Starting with individual opportunities for change, to school involvement, and finally the community at large (or in our case small!). Using media, film, writing books, public speaking and visual graphics to educate. Encouraging schools to ‘go green’ and helping our community make healthy choices. The possibilities are limited only by our imagination and the strength of our legs to bike from location to location (Infinity Miles Per Gallon)
