Making Bicycles Even More Eco-Friendly

Al Jazeera America announced a few weeks ago that it was shutting down after less than three years in operation.  Despite what many critics might think of the beleaguered cable network,  I think it delivers fine journalism.  The following video is an example of their good reporting.  Since I am an avid cyclist and a development worker, this immediately caught my attention.  It’s a great story about an organization in Ghana that is making bicycles even more eco-friendly by building them with bamboo!  And it is always great to hear a positive story out of Africa.
