Green Bike Share Project

Project Leader: Marcelo Garzo and Justin Wiley

Marcelo is currently pursuing a B.A. in Comparative Ethnic Studies at the College of Letters and Sciences. He is also undertaking the newly established Global Poverty and Practice undergraduate minor through the Department of International and Area Studies and the Blum Center for Developing Economies. He has been involved on campus with Students United for Peace, Resource Green, the Latin American Awareness Club, KALX Berkeley 90.7 FM, EGO Traditional Korean Drum group, CalCorps, and the Center for Latin American Studies. He also enjoys gardening, playing music and riding his bicycle on sunny days around town.

Justin Wiley is in the department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management majoring in Conservation and Resource Studies with a focus on Sustainable Development. Last year, he started a nutrition education program and agro-ecological farm at Renaissance High School in Watsonville, California. The project serves as a multi-disciplinary hands-on learning facility that creates awareness of health, nutrition, agro-ecology, environmental science, and the politics of food. The long-term goal of the project is to alleviate the school from the unhealthy, non-local food program by sourcing food from local farmers and the twelve-acre plot in their backyard. Justin also enjoys playing music, gardening, and riding his bike.
