> Everyone is welcome to our Gas-Free Beach Day where we will raise 
> awareness on the importance of alternative transportation and food 
> consumption.
>
> Now with rising gas prices and threats to sustainability, it is 
> essential to bring together those who are socially, environmentally 
> and globally aware to create a more powerful collective for social and 
> global change.
>
> Participants will commit to either riding bikes, taking the bus or 
> driving veggie-fueled cars to get to our event where we will hold mini 
> workshops on sustainable living including bike maintenance, Veganism, 
> and demos of veggie-fuel conversion, celebrating alternative thinking 
> with fun beach activities, food and conversations. Please contact us 
> if you can be a part of our demonstrations, we would love to have you 
> facilitate one.
>
>
> Only socially and environmentally responsible Vegan, organic and 
> fair-trade food will be provided since it takes more energy to produce 
> meat and its by-products, and much more harmful chemicals to produce 
> non-organic foods. We also seek to reject the unfair international 
> labor and environmental practices of multi-national Corporations by 
> depending on local business rather than on foreign production and the 
> use of excessive oil.
>
> Come with a gas-free mindset and learn more about what you can do to 
> change your individual lifestyles among and within the local community 
> in order to be globally conscious.
>
> If you are interested in creating a more democratic global system, 
> where the local voice of every region in the world reigns over the way 
> the world works, transports, eats and thinks instead of accepting the 
> current one-way flow of information, consumption, and globalization, 
> we are looking to create solidarity between all interest groups.
>
> It is through this collective process that we can achieve collective 
> security for not only ourselves and our nation, but for the world.
>
> Help us spread the idea of People Before Profit.
