  • Reflection Question
    Education & Livelihood Go by Bike
    How does using human-powered transportation make you feel compared to using other methods of transportation?

    Although sometimes reluctant to take the bike, everyday I will be suprised with something beautiful I see on my way to the office and back, sun between the trees, birds warming in the sun, fog on the canal. My mind gets more relaxed than when I would go by car and I would miss all this beauty.

      Thank you for sharing! So true, being directly in nature and not in a car etc. connects us with our surroundings, we see, hear and even smell a lot which makes us appreciating all the details around us.

    Dear team, thank you all for joining!
    Still a couple of weeks to go before the real challenge begins!

    Did you know though you can already earn point by
    - choosing your first action
    - uploading a profile picture (which does not have to be a picture of you, you can pick any nice image)
    - uploading a banner picture? you can use the one I added or choose your own.

    Let's go! Together we will make a difference.

    Kind regards
