My name is Colin Davis. Beginning July 7th, 2007 I will be leading a three month, 4,000 mile bicycle tour from San Francisco to Boston; filming a documentary as I visit examples of renewable energy solutions and sustainable technologies all across America. The goal of the ride and accompanying documentary is to create a source of freely available information on climate science, renewable energy and other “green” technologies. I want to demonstrate how businesses and individuals can implement renewable resources into their everyday lives without sacrificing financial interests.

Over the course of the project, I will be touring the facilities and interviewing developers of wind, solar and geothermal power installations, green architecture firms, climate science research groups, sustainable communities, environmentally conscious universities, corporations and investment groups, organic farms, and green utilities in 17 states. I will post videos of these interviews and upon completion of the ride I will compile them along with footage of the trials and tribulations of the ride into a feature length documentary that will tour college campuses and film festivals.

A 4,000 mile bicycle ride of discovery

I am not going this alone; a number of friends, family and total strangers are joining me for an afternoon, week, or in the case of my good friend and designated camera man Jon Filmer, the whole shebang. If you are interested in physically joining the ride, visit www.ridetosustain.com for dates that I will be in your area. Celsias.com is going to be the home for my blog posts, most recent interview videos and our new Brag About It competition.
