My neighbor picked up a small wymyn's road bike with this hub, steel wheels, fender, chain guard, the whole bit. I'ts been kept dry. Anyone interested in it? Prolly $15 or trade... 

I'm mostly pretty much of a skeptic when it comes to things like Earth Hour and Earth Day. One-off events like these let people pretend that they're responsible, for minimum effort. But there's an initiative that I've come across related to this year's Earth Day that I think is kind of cool, and it attempts to raise the public's awareness and goad politicians into doing more without being self-indulgent.

The Chelsea Green/Glen Cairn area is home to social housing, new immigrants, etc. and too much of a problem of youth who don't have any resources to help keep them from making unhealthy life choices. Our community association is interested in the possibility of providing at least a couple of programs that might be of interest to them. The first one would provide the opportunity for them to learn how to cannibalize old, donated computers for workable parts and build working computers from that material, install/run Linux (because it's FREE), etc.
