"The transport industry has shaped its product: the user".

The author of "Energy and Equity", Ivan Illich (1926-2002), an Austrian priest and later philosopher, tells us that there is no engine that is as efficient in energy (and thermodynamic) terms as the bicycle. He concludes that a country is under-equipped if it cannot provide its population with cycle paths and cheap, low-consumption auxiliary engines.

The challenge now is to build an active mobility motorway - a 4-lane cycle route plus a pedestrian lane - WITH A FULLY PERMISSIBLE FLOOR from East to West across the entire Eurasian continent. Why: to combat climate change and protect biodiversity. Thanks to your donations, contributions and collaborations, this major project will be a significant and functional start to our common goal of neutralising and definitively rejecting expensive and polluting modes of transport.

According to the IPCC, global CO2 emissions must be drastically reduced. As a result, MOBILACTIV < www.mobilityactive.org > is guiding you towards a more environmentally-friendly future through the use of bicycles and other forms of soft mobility. So don't hesitate to explore our articles to find out more about the environmental impact and benefits of an active lifestyle.

In short, if we all rally around this project, we will be taking concrete action, eachand every one of us within our means, to protect the biosphere and prevent the squandering of the food, mineral and energy resources that the Earth offers to all its inhabitants. This multinational project to link European and Asian capitals by an active mobility motorway ( * ) will serve as a blueprint for a new form of sustainable habitability for the Earth. Of course, to reduce our ecological footprint on the lithosphere in a profound and decisive way, the gentler and more respectful movement of people and goods will still have to rely on more virtuous development of green public spaces and on the implementation of buildings and establishments on piles and stilts. Building without damaging living organisms, ecosystems, biotopes, air, water and subsoil (see "Des sols et des hommes, un lien menacé " by Alain Ruellan, IRD Éditions, 2010) are just some of the collateral paradigms to be invented in a sober, practical, resilient and sustainable way, such as the active mobility motorway ( * ). The best consensus would be to build footbridges on pylons, buildings on stilts and fully permeable pavements.

MOBILACTIV < www.mobilityactive.org > is determined to promote and spread the active mobility motorway ( * ). Because the use of clean or eco-mobile vehicles means revolutionising transport from top to bottom, and all forms of travel within an ecological logic of active living. Inspired by the IPCC's conclusions on the need to reduce CO2 emissions, we firmly believe that the active mobility motorway ( * ) plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change. Our articles cover a range of topics, from health benefits and environmental impact to practical tips on how to make eco-mobility part of your everyday life. We're passionate about creating an engaged and informed community ready to take concrete steps towards a greener future. Join us on this adventure and discover how the permeable-ground Active Mobility Highway ( * ) can transform your life and our planet.

This active mobility motorway ( * ) project is the perfect response to the need for decarbonisation and, in the long term, will lead us down the logical paradigm path that will reverse the current climate change. By this we mean that the pollution of the soil, rivers and air that we breathe on a daily basis will diminish as a result of the financial contributions made over the next 20 months. In fact, our first step is to raise the sufficient sum of €190,000.00 in less than 24 months. This fund, which will precede a meeting of all the donors and volunteers, will mark the start of a second event: the creation of a multinational engineering and civil engineering design company dedicated exclusively to the construction of any active mobility motorway* throughout the Eurasian territory and linking every capital.

To lead this project, I'm supported by a German citizen team-mate, Marion, an ecologist and florist, and Horst, a sports educator and IT specialist, who will be in charge of keeping the crowdfunding activity up to date right up to the end. My role on the Silk Roads will be to meet and raise awareness among the next Eurasian contributors. This route will take me from Wallerfangen in Germany to Xi'an (and Luoyang) in China in July 2025 and back to Wallerfangen (and Reims in France) in Germany in December 2026.

Active mobility ( * )

Allmodes of transport that require human or animal power. For example: pedestrian; bicycle; E.A.V.; S-Pedelec; towed vehicle (pulled by an animal or animals); electrically assisted land vehicle complying with the E.A.V. standard. standard (the power supply is interrupted when the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h); Electrically assisted land vehicle complying with the European S-pedelec standard (the power supply is interrupted when the vehicle reaches a speed of 45 km/h); Wheelchair; Skateboard; Roller; Large scooter; Rosalie and cuistax; Velocipede land vehicle...
