Climate
researcher David Kroodsma dreamed of bicycling down his driveway in Palo Alto,
California, and pedaling for months until he reached the tip of South America.
When he finally planned his trip, he wanted more than just adventure; he also
wanted to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change on the countries
he would explore. So he set out on a well-packed bicycle with a business card,
a laptop, and an eagerness to share his knowledge. His project, Ride for
Climate, caught on; he gave over 100 school and assembly presentations,
garnered dozens of newspaper accounts of his journey, and appeared on
international television.
