The Conscious Carnival

The Conscious Carnival Midway engages participants in entertaining and educational ways.  Through games of chance and interactive demonstrations, such as "Toss-Out Fossil Fuels," "Recycle Swish," and our model green city "Eco-Opolis," participants have fun while discovering solutions to some of today's most pressing environmental and social concerns.  In addition to the visual and audible impression of the carnival games and Carney 'spiel', each game has an educational poster outlining the indicators, problems and solutions related to the corresponding topic, enhancing the educational qualities of each game.

The Conscious Carnival also features the Big Tadoo Puppet Crew which has been creating conscious puppetry since 2002. Combining elements of poetry, song and storytelling, they have brought memorable lessons of sustainability and democracy to the stage, touching the hearts of all ages.  In addition to their stage performance, Big Tadoo also leads interactive parades with giant 14ft Puppets and their "recycled marching band."

The Conscious Carnival is available year round to "Entertain, Educate and Inspire" at schools, farmers markets, fairs, festivals and where ever there are people in need for some exiting Edu-TainmentFor more information contact: consciouscarnival@gmail.com

Betty BioDiesel
Hi my name is Lindsay Hassett, aka Betty Biodiesel. This campaign was born out of my quest to create cleaner air for kids after learning about how badly polluting the inside of our school buses were. This project is dedicated to improving air quality inside school buses. It promotes the initial blending of 20% Biodiesel into diesel school buses and eventually running buses on 100% Biodiesel. We promote the use of waste cooking oil from restaurants processed into Biodiesel to use in school buses. We coordinate the communication, cooperation and support of Renderers, Biodiesel producers, Petroleum Distributors, School bus fleets, School districts and our youth to ensure a successful transition to Biodiesel. We also provide engaging edutainment through puppet shows and workshops for all ages to inform audiences about the benefits of using Biodiesel in school buses.
