The goal of this festival is to showcase our resources,
research and opportunities in the Natural State, as we
grow our Green Valley with the best choices of
sustainability, efficiency, and responsibility.
We live in exciting
GREEN times rediscovering our walk on this
planet. TWIST OF GREEN will bring awareness that as
concerned citizens, our purpose and assignment is in
our legacy to teach our children and think seven
generations ahead.
·
Protect our environment instilling the practice of
conservation, minimizing waste, and reducing toxic
products and materials.
·
Educate the public about renewable resources and
efficient lifestyle practices.
·
Integrate environmental values into the economy.
·
Have a healthy eco-system and sustainable
neighborhoods.
Our VISION
for the October 4th event is to weave together "Town
and Gown," (City of Fayetteville, regional community,
and University of Arkansas) with corporate partners in
a bio-regional spotlight of leadership. This consortium
will unearth a treasure map of new information in
cutting-edge sustainable practices, products, research
and development, and education.
The by-product of this event is to establish
Fayetteville as a
MODEL city to watch--making wise, efficient
sustainable choices geared towards Bio-regionalism and
a green economy while staying connected to our round
world.
This event adds a twist of
FUN for
dreamers of all ages. Expect a variety of topics and
presentations to grace this weekend's Ozark Global
Village which include: music, art, food, demonstration,
inventions, speakers, and family activities.
Our main fund-raising beneficiary is to create
scholarships and awards for Sustainable Science Fairs
in the Schools, and to plant seeds of solution within
our children to educate and enlighten our future
generations.
