Once again the voluntary Hot Dog Team heads East. To Japan. "From Kyoto to Copenhagen" is the headline, that will attract 10.000 Japanese to get on the bike to support the UN Climate Meeting in Copenhagen (COP15). The tour begins the 23rd of May in Tokyo.
Make a difference
The message for the Japanese is, that everyone of us can do something
for the environment and climate. "Be the change you want to see in the
world", says the Danish Ambassador in Tokyo, Franz-Michael S. Mellbin. Fanny Hot Dog
Girl agrees and therefore Hottie has solar panels, diode light bulbs.
Hotttie is ready for a new bike to generate power and Fanny is on the look for environmentally friendly gas. The flight of course is made conbon neutrale and on a poster you can see how much CO2 hot dog infers.
The dream is to inspire to make a positive change for others by doing it. Hottie hands out a bite of Danish culture and collects money for under-funded
charities. And Yes, it is the Danish Tulip sausages and Danish hot
dog buns (Paaskebroed) that will be shared as always with love and a smile.
Unfortunately theres is no remoulade, which is really Danish and
impossible to import to Japan.
Charity
In 2008 and 2009 all the donated money will be given to the project
"coming home" in the city Zhengzhou in Henan Province, China. One home
for 4-8 kids and two caregivers costs approximately 13,000 US Dollars and the goal for the Hot Dog Stand is to build at least one home. In total we now have app. 10,500 US Dollars.
To build the home we are collaborating with the charity Morning Tears. www.morningtears.com Morning Tears works primarily for children whose parents are sentenced to death or who serve a long prison sentence. Morning Tears gives them hope for the future.
Stages
The ambassador will join the expected 10.000 cyclists on the tour
together with well known politicians and celebrities. After the last stage in
Copenhagen supporting statements about a better climate from the
Japanese environmental minister will be handed over to the Danish
environmental minister Connie Hedegaard.
Hottie will be in Tokyo, Fukushima and Kyoto, hand out free hot dogs
all afternoon and collect money for the orphanage in China. With hot
dogs in the legs the Hot Dog Team will cycle in Hiroshima and Imabari
to join the promotion of cycling culture.
The Hot Dog Team is leaving the 19th of May, the same day Hottie
arrives in Tokyo with DSV. The preview is on 22nd of May at the Danish
Embassy and for the very first time the scent of crispy Danish hot dogs will fly in the streets of Tokyo
