Hi Jim,

I loved hearing about the Common Ground Country Fair and I hope to make it up for the next one.

I wanted to put you in touch with another entrant, Seeds of Solidarity (http://www.changemakers.com/en-us/node/76305). One of the videos that I watched talked about how they were able to dramatically reduce the amount of waste at their outdoor festivals and since you mentioned that this was something you hoped to work on, I thought you might have an interesting discussion.

All the best,
Alexis

“I can tell that this initiative will be the catalyst for a lot of secondary impact. They have been able to be an agent for growth. This not only raises awareness for organic farming, but it has also raised the platform for rising businesses – I found this impact extremely compelling.”

“It is a really important and terrific event! We spend a lot of time discussing how initiatives can maintain continued sustainability and it seems as though this one has already created a lot of change. I think that this is just the kind of thing that we should be supporting as hard as we can.”
