Southeast Sub Station for bringing our southeast area bike
officers. Come and get to know our local bike officers!
Also, thanks to the City of Albuquerque’s Chuck Malagodi
and Astrid Webster for their help on all things bicycle! See
page 3 for more bicycle details.
Global warming and its effects remain one of our
gravest environmental issues. This year we are
partnering with the Sierra Club to educate on
global warming solutions we can all take right
now. This year Immanuel Church (just across
Carlisle), Sierra Club and the Co-op are teaming
up to provide a free mini environmental film festival
in Immanuel’s Fellowship Hall. (See page 2
for times and details.)
Get Your Green Tags:
Grow Alternative Energy Sources
Again this year we are partnering with Green
Energy New Mexico to green tag our event. Our
purchase of green tags for all the energy we use at
the Festival is an investment in alternative energy source creation
here in New Mexico. Everyone who comes to the
Festival will have the opportunity to “green tag” their energy
use to invest in renewable solutions developed in our state.
Environmental Education and Action:
We are looking forward to having groups as diverse as
Hawkwatch, Bethany Organic Farm, New Mexico Solar
Energy Association, Amigos Bravos, New Mexico
Wilderness Alliance, Citizens for Alternatives to
Radioactive Dumping, Defenders of Wildlife,
Albuquerque Bio-diesel Project, Desert Woman
Botanicals, Animal Protection of New Mexico,
UNM Sustainability Department, New Mexico
Organic Commodity Commission, Bernalillo
County Extension Service, The Los Alamos Study
Group, Sparrow Hawk Farm, Albuquerque Center
for Peace and Justice, No Cattle Farm, Conservation
Voters Alliance, Citizen Action, EQNM,
and Wild Earth Guardians, to name but a few of
the many wonderful organizations confirmed at
press time.
As always you can count on seeing some of our
community’s fine local artists and crafts persons,
hearing some of your favorite musicians and
thrilling performances from our gifted local performers.
Some festival favorites are coming back,
and we are once again honored to have them
grace the little stage under the big tent, in the
middle of Silver Street. For more information on
which great local bands you will get to hear for
FREE, see the full entertainment schedule.
We're praying for a beautiful day, and with
Mother Earth's blessing we will once again take
time to celebrate "Her" and reaffirm our commitment to restoring and sustaining our blue/
green planetary gem.
Our little street fills up quickly so please reserve
your booth space early. We do give first priority
to environmental, social and economic justice
non-profit organizations and farmers and farming
organizations. Join your friends and neighbors as
we educate and inform ourselves and joyously
dance in the streets at Albuquerque's favorite
spring gathering. Mark your calendar, this is one
event you don't want to miss. Sunday, April 27,
2008, from 10:30am to 6pm at the back door of
the Nob Hill Co-op location.
