  • Munna Kailash a rickshaw driver ferries his wife, niece, and son on a shopping trip in  in Varanas, Utta Pradesh province, India,. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in the month of April was 2400 kcals. He is 45 years old; 5 feet, 6 inches; and 106 pounds. India has about 10 million cycle rickshaws, including passenger and cargo pedal carts. Although Munna owns his rickshaw, most rickshaw pullers rent from fleet owners for about $0.60 (USD) per day. A typical puller in a big city earns about $4 to $5 (USD) per day. Although slower than two-cycle smoke-spewing auto-rickshaws, bicycle rickshaws don't pollute the air, and the only heat they add to the atmosphere is from the bodies of their drivers.

  • GRE04.0379.xf1brw		(MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). The Madsen family on a day of dogsled travel. When the snow crust is hard enough to ensure that the dogs won’t break through, they can pull the half-ton weight of the sled for hours on end. On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.) /// The Madsen family of Cap Hope village, Greenland is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks’ worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The family consists of Emil Madsen, 40, his wife Erika, 26, and their children Abraham, 12, Martin, 9, and Belissa, 6.
