Health and Sustainability Conference

admin No Comments

Lohas – Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, is a movement (and a business) that brings ecology into the mainstream. Lets face it, folks are not going to give up all their comforts in order to help the environment, at least not without a struggle and a lot of education.

Lohas 9 is an unashamedly capitalist conference, bringing together companies and consumers committed to healthy, socially-responsible living.

The event, in California, April 25-2 7, 2005 will cover a wide range of topics including Making Sustainability Sexy; Consciousness Cool, Walking the Talk – Case Studies of Authentic Celebrity , and Building a LOHAS Community, to name a few.

Salvage is so now! It’s not only planet-friendly, its also the cool way to cherish off the grid craftsmanship.

SALVO FAIR, Knebworth, Hertfordshire, England, 2 & 3 July 2005, is a full-on weekend, where you can get down and dirty rummaging amongst hundreds of architectural salvage and garden antique exhibits for sale or dress to the nines and be entertained by craftspeople like Wocko the singing woodman, who will be splitting lathes in the traditional fashion.

It is just one more example of the way the off-grid life is becoming mainstream.

After years of making TV series teaching other people how to cook, Jamie is now a national hero, as our picture shows. But he is frankly exhausted. So he has decided to take his family to Italy and tour the country in a camper van. He has set no time limit on this adventure.
