For Immediate Release (Please excuse cross posting.) Contacts: Ken Chawkin, 641-470-1314 or Marielle Savard, [EMAIL PROTECTED] GROUP OF TRAVELING ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO OFFER WORKSHOP A group of 15 young environmentalists traveling the country in a biodiesel-powered bus will stop by the campus of Maharishi University of Management, Saturday, June 15, to offer a workshop on making biodiesel fuel. The group is representing Common Vision, "a grass roots nonprofit organization whose mission is to cultivate awareness and respect for the Earth and to generate social and environmental changes toward sustainable lifestyles." The group's "outreach tour" offers community-training workshops in making biodiesel, permaculture design, and other sustainable skills. Their workshop methods include hands-on demonstration, discussions, games, lectures, and visual aids. They will also be distributing information from their bus. The schedule of events will include a participatory activity on Friday evening at Abundance EcoVillage and a Saturday afternoon workshop on the main campus in which they will make biodiesel fuel from vegetable oil. In addition to offering education, the group is also eager to learn from the communities and organizations they visit. They are seeking the guidance and examples of people and communities who have something to teach about sustainability strategies. While in Fairfield they will be staying at Abundance EcoVillage. The group includes a camera crew who are working on a documentary that will include the various workshops and examples of responsible ecological and social practices. One of the members of Common Vision, Michael Flynn, is available for interviews and can be reached on his cellular phone at 831-588- 9914. For more information about Common Vision, check out their website at http://www.commonvision.org/. All activities are free except the biodiesel workshop, which costs $10 per person. However, the biodiesel workshop is also free for all Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment and Maharishi University of Management students, staff, and faculty, and to all students from any other schools wishing to participate. In addition to the biodiesel workshop, there will also be two days of tree planting according to permaculture principles at Abundance EcoVillage on Thursday and Friday, June 13-14, from 9:45 am to 4:30 pm.
