This month...
Our festival season
Grand Finale!
Summer is at an end, and in two weeks we wrap up our week-after-week festival season.
EarthDance (thanks Kelley and Rachel!) broke
records yet again with well over 600 people aiming
to share rides!
Along with SolFest these two
events are the beginning of a new stage in SpaceShare's efforts:
when people without cars have no troubles getting rides,
and our next goal is to get drivers to
leave their cars behind.
Read more about the changing dynamics of festival carpooling.
Upcoming Festivals
Next: KVMR's Celtic Festival and World Vegetarian Day with the
Organic Athlete Conference are all September 30 - October 1,
followed by the Hoes Down at Full Belly Farm the next weekend.
Get involved: SpaceShare is struggling with success: our current team
of volunteers can't spend
every weekend at festivals, and we don't have a big enough team to be at three
in two weekends. We're especially looking for one or two people to be serious
volunteers (or even earn a little) at festival after festival next season.
Want to spend your summer working for the environment by day, then celebrating
at all the big West Coast festivals? Learning leadership skills, able to train
volunteers?
Join us this weekend and learn how to run an exhibit booth!
Conference Season
We'll be changing tracks after the Hoes Down, switching focus for the
winter to work with conferences. About 90% of the folks on this newsletter
signed up through festivals, so our newsletter may get shorter, but
we expect many changes before next spring:
- Re-designing our website.
- Re-designing the search/match tools.
- Growing the green
economy pages.
- Hopefully creating our first college and church/synagogue/mosque
carpool systems.
As always, we have some amazing
volunteer,
internship and
paid partnership roles
where you really can make a difference!
Breathe & Create,
Stephen
