Sustainable Future Festival 2012, y'all.

Put on your eco-friendly thinking caps: The second annual Chippewa Valley Sustainable Future Festival is now accepting proposals for presentations and workshops. The festival, which will take place Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Eau Claire County Expo Center, serves as a tool to educate the community about the positive outcomes of a more sustainable lifestyle in both an environmental and economical sense. Event coordinators are currently looking for presentations and workshops pertaining to food, climate change, transportation, energy, water, building community, healthy living, and living lightly. The workshop proposal form and information pertaining to it can be found online. Lists of last year’s presenters and exhibitors, as well as information about the concept of sustainability itself, can be found at www.sustainablefuturefest.com.
