Jordan River Bike Ride for 350.org

On October 9th, 2010 Friends of the Earth Middle East and the Israel Bicycle Association organized a unique cycling event. The bike ride through the Jordan Valley took place to call attention to the consequences of climate change for the water-stressed Middle East region, and the Lower Jordan River in particular, as well as the benefits of eco-tourism and cycling as a low-carbon and healthy means of transportation.
Around 80 participants, children and adults, participated in the successful event. The tour was part of the international 350.org Global Work Party (www.350.org).
