The Sustainable Living Roadshow Mission
The Sustainable Living Roadshow (SLR) is a caravan of educators and entertainers who tour the country in a fleet of renewable fuel vehicles to empower communities and individuals to utilize sustainable living strategies for a healthier planet. Visiting k-12 schools, university campuses and community festivals across the United States, the caravan sets up off-the-grid eco-carnivals with experiential learning villages, featuring workshops, speakers and entertainment.
The goal of the Sustainable Living Roadshow is to empower individuals and communities with the bioregional solutions for sustainability, including: local power generation, community based food production, natural building strategies, conscious consumer choices, progressive public health policies, and alternative transportation. SLR presents information around sustainable products and living strategies to support a shift in individual and communal choices. Our work represents a new paradigm in entertainment, education and business.
Additionally, SLR is developing advance web 2.0 strategies to create social networks; large scale media distribution through downloadable videos, PODcasts, pictures and more; live web-feeds of events; and we are in communication with several networks to pick the SLR up as a national television series. Our strategy includes utilizing as many existing platforms of media distribution and social networking to make these ideas spread virally in existing communities.
Principles, Policies and Practices
The Sustainable Living Roadshow sounds really fun, but what does it all mean?
- Inspiring people to want to live healthier, more in tune with the earth and with each other.
- Introducing and integrating all aspect of "sustainable living" into people consciousness through creatively identifying and introducing community strategies, products, services, and support which promote these ideas.
- Empowering people with the information, steps and tools necessary to adapt to the changes we all need to acknowledge and adjust to.
- Educating people in creative ways about the need for changes in the way we live, about the present state of our planet and the inherent dangers associated with our current lifestyle. Then introducing and teaching about ways we can adopt to all of these issues.
- Creating a space for people who feel passionate about changing the world to plug in their skills, efforts and interests into a project much larger then themselves.
- De-programming, learning about the power and importance of collaboration and community, embracing the messages we are trying to teach into our own lives, and inspiring, encouraging and supporting each other during the participation of this process.
- Knowing we are all working on projects much larger then ourselves. As we step into the unknown, holding space for total honesty, truth and keeping each other in check and aligned in a greater vision.
- Constantly learning and answering to callings we receive from the universe with integrity and heart-felt passion.
- Forming supportive community around each others ideas, skills, struggles and realities as we move forward, together.
