There are hundreds of ways you can celebrate Earth Day this weekend, and jumping on a bike is a great way to set the tone. On your way to your community beach or street clean up, recycling center or rally, double your no-impact impact this weekend with pedal power. You don’t have a bicycle? No problem. Just check out the free Community Bicycle Programs near you on the website of the International Bicycle Fund. Some loan out bikes for up to six months at a time, in a program as easy as checking out a library book, and some let you grab a two-wheeler for the afternoon. There are hundreds of free community bike programs throughout the United States, and the site has an International Directory as well.

Almost 300 cyclists, walkers, and volunteers were involved with raising awareness of E. coli-contamintated Sinking Creek in Johnson City, Tennessee, USA and raised $$ to build an environmental education park at Sinking Creek to restore the stream and create a permanent reminder of what humans have done and what humans are doing to correct the problem.
