Kitty Litter buckets are converted into bicycle panniers. After 3000 miles they are still holding up great! The only problem that came up was that one of the hinges started to wear out - and a little duct tape fixed that right up!

This group of folks started on the east coast and stopped in Missoula on the way to San Francisco. They are taking something of a windy route. They are trying to draw attentions to sustainable stuff. You can visit their site at http://culturalrecyclists.org

And after 3000 miles, these folks had a lot of kind things to say about the awesomeness of Missoula. So I had to include that in the video. :)

One of the group talked about his experience with http://www.wwoof.org and working on an organic farm. I like wwoof.org, so naturally I had to include it in the video too! :)

  • Paul, AUTS4U is right, the web address above s/b .org not .com for the culturalrecyclists. (.org redirects to the typepad.com address).

    Great group with admirable passion!

  • panniers? We always called them saddle bags. I guess San Francisco is the place to go if you have panniers.

  • Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Haw!

  • I swear I saw you guys in Casper Wy. On Casper Mtn rd. I stopped and commented on the panniers. They are a great idea.

  • o dear god these hippies are so braindead from being stoned 99 % of the time. o well, they're young and idealistic, hopefully that will wear off when reality kicks in and they'll become productive non-"hippy skulls full of mush".

  • @davidmalden not much past ethnoecology is really sustainable. some exotic technologies might take us past that. in relation to the current course of civilization, only getting off the planet will be sustainable for a select few.

    i see these buckets every week in the whole foods dumpster. any business dealing in stuff like like bulk mayonnaise will have this kind of bucket for free.

  • This is so PNW... I love it!

  • how can all that sustainability be sustained? Is the search for sustainability be sustained as well?
