Thanks for your message.
"and reduce their impact on the Earth, and are currently in the midst of a remarkable global bicycle touring adventure"

I enjoyed looking at the beautiful pictures of this person sitting peacefully and enjoying the environment - - and then noticed that I didn't see a whole lot of unprocessed equipment with him. No wheels made out of rock or wood carved from the sharpened bone of a Moose he killed with his sling. No - instead I see a PILE FULL of products made from oil and oil by products, or equipment made with the use of oil/fossil fuels, etc....

I'm glad that he quit his job and is working on bettering the environment. We need people like that. I just wonder how much harder his job would be if he wasn't able to use any products or tools that enlarged his carbon-footprint.
