Sustainable Solutions Caravan Tour Description below:

On November 10, 2003, the Sustainable Solutions Caravan will travel from 
California to Costa Rica (www.sustainablesolutionscaravan.org ). 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 www.puntamona.org, 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 achieve 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!
