What Is The Sustainable Living Roadshow?

The Sustainable Living Roadshow (SLR) is a national coalition of educators and entertainers who tour the country in a fleet of renewable fuel vehicles to empower communities and individuals to utilize sustainable living strategies for a healthier planet. Visiting k-12 schools, university campuses and community festivals across the United States, the caravan sets up off-the-grid eco-festivals with experiential learning villages, featuring workshops, speakers and entertainment.

The goal of the Sustainable Living Roadshow is to empower individuals and communities with the bioregional solutions for sustainability, including: local power generation, community based food production, natural building strategies, conscious consumer choices, progressive public health policies, and alternative transportation. SLR presents information around sustainable products and living strategies to support a shift in individual and communal choices. Our work represents a new paradigm in entertainment, education and business.

The primary value of SLR is our unique integration of entertainment, education, media and business: a design intended to celebrate practical solutions to environmental and social issues. Our success is based on our experience in touring, event production, grassroots education, conscious entertainment, and the collective depth of our networks.

SLR programs provide practical tools for individuals and communities to make simple, affordable and ecologically conscious changes that can be integrated into mainstream realities. Recognizing the importance of the experts who have come before us, we always promote and support existing local efforts for sustainability while highlighting sustainable living strategies with a proven track record. The events also feature evening celebrations to broaden outreach, share messages and encourage participation from a diverse array of audiences.
