What a Drag: NYC Marathon Follow Up

As if simply running the marathon was not enough, Rima Chai from Surrey in the UK dragged 18 kilos (mostly car tyre) behind her for the entire course, to raise awareness on sustainability as well as funds for her Arctic Expedition. Afterward, she wrote, "I was interviewed by the New York Times by Nathaniel Vinton, who was reporting on the trash left behind and decided not to release all my political views on how businesses need to be wholly involved in sustainability of their environment and that the US needed to be more committed to environmental concerns due to their high consumption (has been indicated as 40% of the world's resources) and high waste (approx only 30% of their trash is recycled, the rest ends up in landfills). Although I did ask him why there was a lack of recycle bins in New York. Walking through the boroughs, I did not see any." You can read Rima's whole marathon story here.
