Cycling Against Climate Change
Two Germans are so intent on speaking out against climate change that they've started cycling across Africa. They're planting trees and spreading a message of hope and responsibility to those who don't often hear it.
Ragna Schmidt-Haupt and Amiram Roth-Deblon have chosen an innovative way of drawing attention to climate change: the two Germans are cycling across 12 African countries. Altogether, their trip will last one entire year.
Their campaign is called "Cycle Generation- Feel Africa", and is supported by the United Nations Environment Programme as well as by the World Future Council. They’ve now been on the road for two and a half months and have already cycled more than 1,300 kilometres.
Living Planet spoke with the two cyclists as they arrived in Kenya.
