Turning ideas into action

Less than 3 months before we hit the road!

In May 2005, Marie Collin and Christian Blanchard will hit off the tour, their destination: the Americas. Put together by the Velopax association, this Vert Demain project is not merely about riding 45 000 Km on a bike, for most importantly it wishes to promote respect for the environment.

The Green Awarness's mission is to sensitize populations to ecological matters and to meet some environmentally friendly inovative practices that could be transposed in other places ; it's also to achieve a real persuasion through this "good practices" valorisation.

We dive into the adventure with the support of Cycle North South and CADR67.

Untill D day we will work hard to raise the necassary funds and will accept any help. Thanks to the very special help of the MAGE-UQAC, which provides an important part of the budget
