Providence, RI: May 15, 2007— Looking for ideas big and small to be a part of the solutions to global warming? Looking to add some organic, locally grown spice to RI life? Looking to join with others and take charge of future development in our state? Come on down to the 2007 RI Sustainable Living Festival & Clean Energy Expo on Saturday June 9th from 9 am to 9 pm at the Apeiron Institute for Environmental Living in Coventry and find answers to questions you didn’t even think to ask.

Entertainment and education are allied agents of change on June 9th—two stages combine with 40 workshops and happenings like the morning Climate Action Conference, the eco friendly vending mall, live action energy installations, and a fleet of alternative energy vehicles—including the world’s only vegetable oil powered motor home and fuel cell powered Model T! A full musical line-up for both stages, workshop listings, $10 advance price tickets and transportation info are available at www.livingfest.org.

“The Festival is just mushrooming as the hub of a new positive conjoining of efforts that is allowing our state to shift resources and development to cleaner and more economically sound choices and lifestyles,” explains Festival organizer and Apeiron Institute for Environmental Living Director Brad Hyson. “That’s why we toss everyone together—educators and the general public, the specialized eco friendly product vendors and the politicians, the artists and environmentalists—because you can’t get new outcomes without new interactions!”

In that vein, BRU Rock Hunt finalist Fungus Amungus headlining on the main stage, will lead an open drum jam at the end of the show; and the What Cheer? Brigade (an 18-piece roving brass band that has played in trees, ferris wheels, zoos, grocery stores, bus stops, parties, farms, bars, libraries, soccer fields, cemeteries, and school playgrounds) will head a parade of giant “climate creatures” made on site by festival goers and Big Nazo artisans that day. Add Superchief Trio’s tasty tunes with red-hot trombone and two-fisted piano, Girlyman’s toothsome vocals, and the tantalizing call to Ireland from Pendragon and find hearty fare for any ear.

“We’re seeding a new way of thinking,” rejoins Hyson, “a systemic approach to problem-solving beyond the stale and splintered politics of identity and dollars—sustainable living on and from the ground up!” What will grow, we don’t know, but RI is hungry for change and with the Johnson & Wales Green Chefs cooking festival food, we know it will taste good! See and smell you there.
