The purpose of Living Green in the KRV is to help us learn about living responsibly, protecting our environment and conserving resources. This will enhance the quality of our lives, helping us live healthy and within our means - which is a pretty good idea considering these challenging economic times.
Living Green in the KRV is not intended to focus on nature itself, but on lifestyle changes.
In putting on this event, Kern River Valley Revitalization hopes to:
- Add a March Event to the KRV Calendar, both for residents and attracting visitors, supporting local businesses and organizations;
- Be welcoming & inclusive:Involve many groups, people and ages – all walks of life & income levels;
- Educate, not dictate: Help people understand the concepts behind ‘living green,’ sustainable development & living. Give them easy lifestyle options, not orders;
- Simplify, not complicate: Not overdo it, ‘keep it simple’;
- Encourage KRV residents to Think Local First in terms of shopping, services and charitable contributions as well as encourage business cooperation to promote the Think Local First program & in stocking ‘GREEN’ items for KRV residents to buy locally.
