Still accepting donations: bicycles, children's bicycle trailers, exercise bicycles. Time's Up! volunteers have been working with Occupy Wall Street NYC since Day 1. Recently, we helped them start a sustainability committee. Below are some of the sustainable projects we could use funding for:
1. Building more bike powered generators for OWS and occupations in other cities.
2. Buying cargo bikes for delivering compost to local farms and community gardens, and bringing local food back to OWS.
3. Buying special cargo bikes for hauling water from local taps to OWS.
4. Recycling, maintaining, and locking bike share bikes for the various committees at OWS.
Time's Up! in conjunction with OWS Sustainable Working Group, are creating energy bikes to replace all the generators that were confiscated by the City from Occupy Wall Street (OWS) last week. We’ve secured funds for 5 human-powered energy cycles that will be installed this weekend. Please donate what you can so we can secure the additional bikes needed to ensure that OWS is fossil-fuel free! Read about Time's Up! and OWS Sustainable Working Group in the press: The New York Times, The Raw Story, ANIMAL and Gothamist. Also, check out the video below to see the current energy bike at OWS in action:
Environment groups Time's Up! & Clearwater teamed up for the August 9, 2011 “Shut Down Indian Point” Action including the "Shut Down Before the Meltdown" bike ride & "No Fukushima on the Hudson" sail on the Clearwater Sloop from Manhattan to the Indian Point Nuclear Power plant.

We are happy to report that both are on a continuous rise in New York City thanks to your support. Our wide range of different types of group rides have helped attract thousands of new bicyclists which has encouraged others to ride and become every day commuters.
