For each person signing in one of our trips approximately 2€ will be donated, with the purpose to plant “Cabeço Santo” (GPS position: 40º31’52″N 8º20’36″W- Google Maps) in the mountain range of Caramulo, victim of a terrible forest fire in 2005. Soon the indigenous vegetation will substitute eucalyptus, acacias and other invasive species.
The fruit and some snacks that we offer on our tours are from local producers, which gives them 100% of their profits to continue production.
The picnics we offer you on our tours are mainly bought in local grocery stores and consist of local products. It effectively connects consumers with producers, cutting out the supermarket – or middle man – and thereby threatening to drastically shake up the way that Portugal food supply chain operates.
Carbon “toe print”: when you ride our e-bikes your batteries were charged from one of the “greenest “ power suppliers in the world – EDP, so, the 22 terawatts/hour of clean energy they produce in a year is enough juice for 10.000.000.000 ebike battery charges. We will leave no more than a gentle Carbon “toe print” behind.
We are happy to be part of this adventure called “Olive Cycling”!
