For the Mongol Rally 2010 we are driving to Mongolia one of the many countries MercyCorps are working in full time; supporting families and rural communities through; Economic, Agricultural and Educational Programmes.
These programmes, enable communities to develop small projects ranging from building kindergartens/youth development centres, and building wells to larger scale projects such as developing environmentally friendly waste management projects in conjunction with a Chinese University. In the future this should enable farmers to convert yak tallow, a waste product, into bio-diesel to help to reduce air pollution, generate extra income for poor herders and contribute to a reduction in worldwide CO2 levels.
In line with the above The Metalrallykhar, will be investing in Carbon Offsetting this entire trip and our fuel usage, through Act on CO2
