Carlos Marroquin from Maya Pedal – http://www.mayapedal.org – will present on bicycle technology and sustainability efforts in Guatemala.

Started in 1997 in San Andrés Itzapa, Guatemala, Maya Pedal uses recycled bicycles to build pedal-powered machines such as bike-powered corn-grinders which help facilitate small-scale, self-sustainable projects. Through this work Maya Pedal contributes to the conservation of the environment, the health of the Guatemalan people, and the productivity and independence of the local economy. Come find out how you can provide support to Maya Pedal and sustainability initiatives in Guatemala.
