Africycle On the 5th anniversary of the Founding of the Pitch-In Brooklin Program we introduced the Africycle bicycle collection where local residents were asked to donate their used bicycles to shipped to Africa to be used as a tool to help break the cycle of poverty in Malawi. Over the last 3 years we have expanded to 6 different collection sites and to date have collected more than 480 used bicycles.

ZERO WASTE
As part of the 10:10 Program, Baleen Group was able to reduce our carbon footprint by 10% in 2010. One of the many steps we took was to partner with Global Emissions Systems based out of our hometown to install their "Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV)" technology on our vehicle. With the GESI unit installed we now emit less harmful emissions than most hybrids for much less. And when you can carry a kayak, a cargo box and a mountain bike you redefine the concept of “sport utility vehicle”!
