Time's Up! Energy Bike Powers Occupy Wall Street
Loading...
Uploaded by txup on Oct 28, 2011
Time's Up! New York City's Direct Action Environmental group has been working with Occupy Wall Street since its inception. Recently, they have focused on replacing all the gas generators in Liberty Park with Pedal Power Generators. We currently have one up and running, but need your help to build 11 more and power the whole park!
We've received funding for 5 bikes but need at least 6 more, and any donations above that will be used to build more energy bikes which will be sent to other occupations.
Go to http://times-up.org/
and push the donate button

11 bikes for $8,000? why dont u guys go to the thrift stores there super cheap and are less than $8-$50 for kid sizes and adults!
-
for $8000 they could build more than 11 bikes, those old bikes are probably $50-100 each, the "generators" or electric scooter motors are about $30-50 new.

I could use the plans for this system. I live in a school bus in the woods (not kidding) and I would love a cheaper source of clean energy. Any thoughts? Love you guys.

Listening to this story I remembered a great cartoon about the first solar powered rock concert. An array of solar cells, 3'X4", that was hooked up to the speakers and amplifiers and the singer turns around to the guy running the power a says "what do you mean IT IS ON".

@brfatal1 you have not read about unemployment and foreclosure rates apparently. Minimum wage McD's jobs, that's all you got to offer? Are they living wages, or qualify for Food STamps and Medicaid? Wallyworld recommends these to their low paid "associates". So taxpayers are supporting WORKING POOR now, because corporatist candidates will not pass laws for wealthy and corporate tax avoiders to pull their tax weight. Do you just not see?

Oh please. Spare me your poor pity party and extreme exaggeration. The folks in Chicago were nice enough to hand out McDonalds applications at the Occupy Chicago protest. I have 2 college degrees and worked at a mechanic shop while trying to find a more career worth job. There are lots of jobs out there.

If you had actually been to one of the occupy sites you would see the people are honest, most have jobs in addition to the work they are doing at occupy. The thing that most struck me was just how intelligent, caring and democratic they are. They have so much integrity and honesty, so no worries about where the money goes, these are decent people. Just a suggestion, engage with them or just visit your local occupy site and see for yourself. Pleace and Love xx
