> Redefining the Vision
>
> The Sustainable Living Roadshow is designed to be a platform to
> showcase social organizing, conscious entertainment, interactive
> art, local resource sharing, conscious consumerism and cutting-edge
> education. Our Fall tour embodied many of these philosophies, but
> for 2009, rather than hold all the responsibilities of touring and
> event-production in-house, SLR is shifting this year's focus to
> supporting existing events with eco-village design and green element
> integration. Our goal is to create a more sustainable model for
> ourselves and to work off the already developed platforms of large
> community gatherings and celebrations.
>
> By shifting focus in this direction, we hope to have more time to
> develop true partnership with groups that fit into our touring
> model. Once the coalition of partners is fully developed, the true
> model of the SLR will shine, and we will return in 2010 to an all
> encompassing national tour with localized focus. This is what we
> are most excited about!
>
> Plans for the Future
>
> SLR is currently planning for Summer 2009 National Tour. The focus
> of this summer's tour is on providing eco-tainment at existing
> Weekend festivals and visiting summer camps, schools and farmers
> markets during the week. If you have contacts with any of the above
> groups, please let us know how to get in touch with them!
>
> Our Fall season is still up in the air! We have received so many
> amazing requests from K-12 schools and college campuses -
> conversations are on-going, so there will be more information when
> it comes! Additionally, we are in conversations with several groups
> such as New Belgium Brewery's Tour de Fat and the Eco Reality Tour,
> so chances are, we will be on the road this fall!
>
> 2010 is what SLR is really looking forward to. In collaboration
> with our college network partners (groups such as Energy Action
> Coalition, California Student Sustainability Coalition, Association
> for Sustainability in Higher Education, etc), SLR will be
> formalizing our production process into a turn-key "festival in a
> box" tool-kit. We are developing a campaign to have colleges across
> the country replicate the model of the SLR in their local community
> by producing their own local Sustainable Living Festival in 2010.
> In addition to this campaign, we are looking to expand on our
> partnerships and our experiences of the Fall 08 season, and produce
> community celebrations across the country. These celebrations will
> last approximately 5 days in every city, and will integrate
> workshops, entertainment, community service projects, resource
> sharing and much more!
>
> We are really excited to be back in touch with everyone! Thank you
> for all your support over the years, and we look forward to
> continuing to share our journey with you!
