Pick up a Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance guide and check out their article on page 45 that describes how they used the Marcellus Challenge and Finger Lakes Climate Fund to reduce the Festival footprint! By using our Carbon Calculator they learned that their shuttle buses emit about 3000 pounds of CO2 over the 4-day weekend. And for just a $32 donation to the Finger Lakes Climate Fund they were able to offset or “cancel out” the shuttle bus emissions. It’s that easy!
 

We invited friends in the Ithaca area to join us on Saturday, June 26, for the celebrated Awakening the Dreamer Symposium. Please enjoy a few images from our experience and from the wonderful Minns Garden on the Cornell campus (across the street from the symposium) which happened to be in glorious full-bloom on this day!

The symposium is an inspiring experience created by the Pachamama Alliance.
