Cross border Bicyling for 350.org
2010-10-08

Friends of the Earth Middle East is organizing a unique cross-border cycling event to call attention to the threatening impacts of climate change on the Lower Jordan River and the Dead Sea. The event is part of the Global Work Party 10/10/10, organized by 350.org.

To achieve the objectives of raising awareness and reduce GHG emissions we are organizing a cross-border cycling tour along the Lower Jordan River and the Dead Sea, calling attention to the consequences of climate change for the water-stressed Middle East region.

The ride will be a 3 day event, carried out as a “torch run” by Jordanians, Israeli´s and Palestinians, starting in Jordan on 8/10, going on to Israel and finishing in the Palestinian Territories at the Northern Dead Sea on 10/10.
