Marissa Muller is riding 1,000 miles on a solar-powered electric bike. Her mission: "to start thinking, brainstorming and creating ways to make our community more energy efficient and a little bit cleaner." Along the way, she's stopping at California high schools "to start a dialogue, stir up thought and curiosity, and begin a wave of climate-positive actions."

I learned about Marissa's shareable journey from her brother Erik, whose work as one of the Fruit Guys is also worth mention on Shareable. Marissa just got her Masters in Business Administration from the  IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain. "I plan to use this month journey to reflect on my MBA experience, see my own backyard, breath the California air, connect with high school students and tomorrow’s clean thinkers, and Spin it Green," she writes on her blog, where you can share your own ideas about sustainability. Here's a video about her gear and her mission:
