The aim of the Steps to Sustainability campaign is to redefine our everyday habits toward a sustainable lifestyle especially on Walking, Running, Cycling and Plantation programs
Air, Water, Food, ecosystem, energy are a highly important element of the environment that provides the necessary support to livelihood. Lately, due to rapid and haphazard urbanization, natural resources are depleting in a similar pattern. It has resulted in our ecosystem severely affected, which also includes the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the energy we use, and our overall existence. In addition to that besides the environment, it has disrupted the system we have for ourselves, the community, and the government.
Though COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency, bringing devastation to millions around the world, impacting lives and jobs, and grinding much of the global economy to a halt, but we cannot deny it has given our environment bit of time to breath/repair itself and proved we need to look the way forward to bring about our environment reshaped and rethink the steps to be taken to meet the needs of today’s population without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
StoryCycle has been working in sustainable mobility across different regions of Nepal such as Janakpur and Sindhuli. We have been organising cycling event ‘Ride through Sindhuli Gadhi’ since 2016 every year to Promote tourism and preserve historical sites Sindhuligadhi and heritage city Janakpur. The event has increased visibility and boosted the economy of these places.
