Rockin' for Relief (Permaculture in New Orleans)

The Appalachian Student Newspaper online Boone, NC 28608
Sunday, October 2 2005, 2:00pm - 9:00pm

Please join the High Country community for a fundraiser to bring sustainable support to individuals and communities most directly suffering from the hurricane disasters. We will be hanging tarps, chipping wood into mulch, building water filtration systems, sifting through trash and building compost piles, testing soil & water and performing bioremediations, establishing composting toilets, planting organic seeds, operating equipment and generators with biodiesel (and three vehicles on straight vegetable oil), helping at the community-controlled Common Ground health clinic, distributing supplies from grassroots disaster relief centers, and organizing many other permaculture projects.

Come hear live performances by Jay Brown, Melissa Reaves, Black Sheep Theatre, and many more. Also hear stories from the Common Ground Collective relief workers and other news from the ground. Other speakers, poets and performers are currently being added.

This event is sponsored by: Espresso News/Mosaic Books, Footsloggers, Shoppes at Farmers' Hardware, Grapevine Music, and others added daily.

Your donations will go to area activists who will contribute to the Common Ground Collective, a group working in the New Orleans area doing ongoing disaster relief and community rebuilding. We will join other activists from across the country traveling to Algiers, LA to implement sustainable development models.

We are asking for money to purchase biodiesel and other items not donated. We are hoping to rent or borrow a wood chipper and diesel generator.

For more information email katrinarelief@wildmail.com or contact Deborah Hollingsworth or Elizabeth West at 336.877.5571.
