Last night we attended a mini-workshop presented by students from Oberlin College participating in the One Big Bike Movement. These students are biking from Oberlin, OH to San Francisco this summer, stopping along the way to present strategies for living more sustainably.
Their first stop happened to be here in Yellow Springs, hosted by Living Green (a store about which I’ll be talking quite a bit here in the future) which provided wine, cheese, and fruit for refreshments. They spoke about techniques for using passive solar and cooling, including placement of vegetation, windows, and heatsinks. The students also gave an overview of vermicomposting, including a display of a working bin full of red wrigglers. They even left the bin with C.J. of Living Green to use in the store!
I encourage you to check out their site (onebigbike.blogspot.com) and see if they are heading your way.
