Sustainable Living Roadshow (SLR) at the Forecastle Festival Eco-Village
This great green event is over now!
Sustainable Living Roadshow will be organizing and coordinating the eco-village again this year at Forecastle Festival in Louisville, KY. They'll also be helping to set up the stage and direct the evolution of conscious events.
Forecastle Festival is increasingly taking steps to artistically and creatively educate and inspire their fans, and SLR is proud to share in the groove with them. This Forecastle, SLR will be unveiling their newly upgraded and retro-fitted Conscious Carnival. With new designs, new games and even an eco-conscious prize booth, it is the best Conscious Carnival to-date! They are also producing and curating an exciting Solutionary Showcase designed to artistically demonstrate important technologies, strategies and materials that benefit both humanity and the Earth.
The debut of SLR's Green Home Dome will reveal creative ways to integrate sustainable solutions at home, featuring greywater systems, solar hotwater and PV, living roof, radiant heat floors, on-demand (tankless) hot water heater, green building materials, and conscious product choices. Additionally there will be other showcases of different renewable technologies, alternative fuel vehicles plus creative DIY projects, products, information and exhibits.
And, as always, the Earth Peace Mandala will bring grounding and intention to the whole space.
If you're interested in volunteering, whether you are local or far away, SLR could use your help! There is research to be done, signs to paint, models to build and more! Please email: activate.slr@gmail.com
