environmentally sustainable lifestyle. To use music and the arts to
raise awareness for environmental issues, covering animal rights,
oceanic reef and global disaster issues as a result of
environmental problems, by means of starting a trend and building
up a habit of being eco-conscious.
The focus will be on education and solutions as to how to do our
part to help save the planet. By first bringing up awareness
in a fun and engaging way, through music and arts to start a youth
movement initiative amongst the youth between the ages of 16-35,
where they can relate to and find an identity which will empower
themselves to take action to walk the talk, through all these
little steps.
Local bands and artists will be performing for free in hopes of
exhibiting their participation of leading by means of example, and
local artists will be gracing the event to publicly make pledges on
living an eco-friendly lifestyle. This full day festival filled
event will not only be a one-day event but start a revolution of
