Eclipsing any progress Indiana is making on bike trails and bike paths is the unwise and devastating effort to build a new terrain I-69 highway from Evansville to Indianapolis. This project would be an incredible misuse of Hoosier taxpayer resources and would cause irreversible damage to thousands of acres of our wilderness and countryside. While some view this project as inevitable, the truth is that environmentally minded citizens like you can make a difference in getting Indiana to do the right thing — supporting an upgrade of existing roads rather than building a new highway.

The Time To Act Is Now
The proposed new terrain I-69 project is moving at a faster pace than ever in its controversial 20-year history: The first few miles were built last year, and key federal requirements are swiftly being met.

Americans have departed from the path of nutritional righteousness. It’s stirring, however to see how swiftly the seed of “earth suit ecology” is being reborn within our green consciousness. To restore, give health and maintain the inner ecology, your earth suit needs to function with efficiency to keep ill health from robbing you of the joy of living. As Hippocrates, the father of medicine, waxed poetic in 400 B.C., “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
