In winter 2015 the Cooperide pedalled from Copenhagen to the COP21 in Paris.
With the climate crisis being the defining global issue of the 21st Century this journey was our manifestation of how we believe we must act if we are to take on climate change. We have a common goal. It was to be a demanding journey. But a journey made much easier when taken together.
By pedalling to Paris, we were demonstrating that dependence on fossil fuels is a choice not a necessity, that alternatives are possible and that the commitment to change is strong.
What?
A bike bloc travelling from Copenhagen to Paris.
