Sustainability Solutions Caravan Tour Description below:

On November 10, 2003, the Sustainable Solutions Caravan, will travel from California to Costa Rica. In vehicles run on used vegetable oil we will create forums for information exchange. We aim to highlight the importance of seeking alternatives to destructive trends in energy consumption and agricultural practices. As eco-technologists, farmers, healers, vegetable oil conversion mechanics, entertainers, and multi-media specialists, we share a common vision for a healthy and sustainable planet that respects all life.

Driving from Berkeley, CA to Punta Mona Center for Sustainable Living and Education in Costa Rica our goal is to promote responsible technologies and land management design systems that encourage sustainable development, biodiversity, and a healthy quality of life. We will acheive this by events geared toward celebrating local sustainable solutions and introducing alternatives. We target educators, farmers, students, schools, community centers, eco-villages, and organic farms along the way. Our contribution to the forum is an educational performance that touches on concepts of permaculture, engine-conversion, ethnobotany, sustainable nutrition. All events will culminate with a gala and an information and seed exchange.

Downloadable curriculums and activities for students and educators will be available for distribution this coming spring!
