Taking 'Self-Sufficient' to a whole new level...

So I was poking around at some of the sites that I frequently go to and ran across this YouTube video. The Ginger Ninjas is a band that goes on tours (like many musical groups do) and decided that to get out their message regarding saving the planet they would do a tour on bikes. Problem was that they still had to carry their gear using trucks etc. So, when they scheduled their next tour, they decided to do the WHOLE thing using only their bikes. They devised a way to turn their bikes into generators and to carry EVERYTHING with them. They can do a whole show for 400 people without ever having to plug into an electrical receptacle. Kind of rare to find people like this who totally believe in a concept and find a solution to support it. Usually it is just lip service.. Check it out! dv
