If you are struggling with what to give for Christmas, we have that long awaited for alternative to socks, bobbles and fruit cake.

At the 2012 Sustainable Christmas EXPO & Rock Opera, you can find gifts that keep on giving while supporting local businesses and non-profits

that support a sustainable people and planet….

From honey, coffee, brew and jewelry to local farmers, rain barrels and solar powered computers….

gift certificate admissions to cooking, yoga, dance & gardening classes or admissions to a green collar job education….

or how about the gift of a membership or donation to a non-profit committed to bringing forth a safe, sustainable and fulfilling community….

like SafePlace, Sustainable Food Center or adopting a rescue dog, cat or wombat.

If you believe we should leave our children a better world than how we found it….

If you believe giving is really “the reason for the season”….

        then you will want to be our guest at one of the most fun

                and rewarding community events you will ever attend.

SUSTAINABILITY – The ability of the current generation to
provide for their needs without compromising the ability
of future generations to provide for theirs.
The ultimate gift we can give to our children.

CHRISTMAS – Sustainable Love… The Reason For The Season

EXPO – Have your gift of love make somebody’s life better,
healthier, more fun while supporting local business & non-profits
support a sustainable people and planet. Gifts for life.
(See the Gift Ideas tab.)

ROCK OPERA – You are in for the adventure of a lifetime as you join

The Beatles (performed by the Eggmen) who join a flurry
women drummers (performed by the Djembabes), the Achuar Tribe
of the Amazon and a Wombat to save the worlds rain forests.
A true story. You will sing. You will cry. You will be inspired.

We are a citizen driven Community Service Project with the goal of redirecting the holiday consumer purchase power and reason for the season to making “green” the gifts of choice.

Our goal is to have market demand support the green & sustainable community non profits, entrepreneurs, businesses, organizations and government entities that are leading our community in the implementation of sustainable policies and green resources, technology, products and services that empower Austin citizens to live a healthy, self reliant, energy efficient, fulfilling sustainable life. 

Once you begin to think “green”, hundreds of other ideas will occur to you (go to the Gift Ideas tab). Keep the momentum going by encouraging your family, friends and coworkers to do their part. You can’t change the world overnight, but you can change a light bulb. If everyone in America did, it would be the equivalent of taking 5 million cars off the road, or preventing 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

Buy local, and buy sustainable.

DEAR GREEN BUSINESS OR NON PROFIT PERSONS….

WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH OUR “SUSTAINABILITY IS COOL” PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

If you are providing products or services that would contribute to establishing an environmentally sustainable, economically cost effective, socially just or fulfilling human presence in our community, then we want them to find out about you and support you.

We now, unlike any other time in the known history of human kind, have all the resources, technology and know-how we need to create a sustainable, just and peaceful human presence on this planet….

and YOU are that resource!

This is a concerned citizens project, whose goal is to make demand for sustainability by consumer purchase dollars so profitable, it would be silly not to pursue it.

IF YOU BELIEVE A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR YOUR SERVICE, PRODUCT OR STORE WOULD MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT….

THEN YOU SHOULD PUT ON YOUR PARTY CLOTHES & RESERVE A BOOTH AT THE

2012 SUSTAINABLE CHRISTMAS EXPO & ROCK OPERA “Gifts that make a Difference”
