Something
new this year is the Generation Green Tent.
Now is the time
to green up your life! Not sure how or where
to begin? Come visit the green zone called Generation
Green, where you will learn about sustainable
living and alternative energy. Take advantage
of the opportunity to hear from Humboldt locals-
their knowledge and experience- and see demonstrations
of a variety of items.
Some features
of this showcase will include: electric bicycles,
electric motorcycles, and even an electric tractor;
solar-powered fans; solar water heating; producing
your own clean electricity from solar, hydro,
and wind energy sources; Garberville’s
community farm and its community-supported agriculture
program; solar ovens cooking various foods;
a display of wild-crafted and preserved foods;
and the South Fork High School’s Earth
Club. Additionally, guest speaker, Jason Bradford,
from Willits, will address the topic of creating
local self-reliance. Bradford is a scientist
turned community organizer and has been deeply
involved in the localization movement within
the Willits area. He will be speaking both Saturday
and Sunday from 2-3pm.
If you’re
wondering what it means to “go green”
or you want to find out ways to live a cleaner,
more sustainable lifestyle, and especially if
you want to see brighter possibilities for the
next generation, then come on by the Generation
Green Tent.
