Rob Greenfield: Dude Making a Difference
Biketavism and Social Change

 

You've seen the DIY documentaries - intrepid cyclists crossing the U.S.A. by bike and touting their and the bike's eco-cred. How effective is this kind of 'biketevism' in bringing about big social change? We'll talk to the "Dude Making A Difference" Rob Greenfield, who trekked 3.5 months and 4,700 miles creating just two pounds of trash, using only 160 gallons of water and eating many a meal gleaned from dumpsters. Greenfield's enthusiasm for being the change he wants to see is totally infectious. Don't miss it. Our second guest, Peter Gellman, is no less a voice for change, but through the characters of his novel entitled - "Dangerous Bicycle Mystery Quest". Its post-apocalyptic heroine from Portland named Zonny is a good example of the ups and downs of attempting social change by bicycle. Join us.
