The underground press in Britain attempts to keep everyone in touch with everyone else, publishing news of what other groups in different countries are doing. When the ''Kabouters'' advocated the [[Provo]]s' ''white bicycle'' plan as a free community resource (painting some bicycles white and leaving them around the city where anybody could use them for free and then abandon them again until the next user would find them) the underground press in Britain passed the news on in hopes of getting a similar thing going.

The legacy of the 60s and 70s can be seen in the continued usage of the word "alternative" in all three of these.
