Dear Pluto, The Padyak Project offers an alternative to UP students who wish to bike. It is not meant to marginalize the jeepneys. Many students will still ride jeeps and cars, or choose to walk.
But as environmental advocates, our wish is for one day, jeepneys will run on recycled vegetable oil, and for UP as an academic community to help solve the environmental crisis. We also dream that we will all be less affected by the uncertainty petroleum prices. Some of our supporters have expressed interest in helping motor vehicles convert to recycled or renewable energy, or link displaced drivers to environmental livelihood projects.
