Firm comes to Mother Nature’s rescue through bicycle riding

A REGIONAL non-profit organisation ABC Impact has embarked on promoting bicycle mobility in a bid to save Mother Nature.

The organisation’s Chief Impact Officer, Ms Ayanna Mushi said here recently that they were promoting riding of bicycles as a way of creating less noise, less air pollution, and results in fewer emissions that are warming the atmosphere.

The programme, according to Ms Mushi, aims also to enhance people’s livelihoods by having access to high-quality bicycles that can help in creating positive effect on global sustainability.

“We are also reaching out to children to mitigate the effects of global warming that the world is now grappling with,” she explained.

Ms Mushi emphasized the importance of engaging children in the activity, saying it would have long-term benefits for the environment.

“Encouraging them to start cycling at a tender age has proven to have long-term benefits for the environment. Using active transport like cycling instead of driving reduces carbon emissions, eases traffic congestion and eliminates parking problems. Less pollution and traffic mean our communities will become greener, healthier and less stressful places to live,” observed the ABC Impact official.

A survey released in May this year found out that most adults across 28 countries in the world consider cycling plays an important role in reduction of carbon emissions and in the reduction of traffic.

Earlier on, the programme head Ricardo Laizer took time to assure parents of their children’s morals even when they engage in cycling activities.

The non-profit organisation envisions a Tanzania where communities have access to high-quality bicycles that can enhance the livelihoods of the people.

It has since partnered with Velafrica, a Swiss based organisation in providing wholesale and retail bicycles in several regions in the country.

It seeks to create awareness of the value chain of bicycles and the positive impact it has on people’s lives.
