Join the Greenlight REvolution

Join us on Saturday July 1st, 2006

from 8:00 - 10:00 a.m.
for the Greenlight REvolution.

Meeting point: Corner of St. Vincent Street and the Eastern Main Road, Tunapuna (the street just before the market)

Meeting time: 7:30/7:45 a.m. (if driving, park on St. John Road, the road to the Mt. St. Benedict - it's easy and safe).

What to wear: Blue jeans and white t-shirt

What to bring: Yourself and at least two friends. Each person will be given a placard with a positive 'RE' word written on it

What we will be doing: Walking from Tunapuna to Curepe junction (holding the placards), where several acoustic performers and poets will stage a small concert on the sidewalk in front of Sidewalk Radio station.

What is the purpose of this? To create positive change. REjuvenate ourselves. REnew the environment. REbuild our society. The REvolution starts with us.

* Sidewalk Radio will be covering the walk live (call-in reports and comments to the station by special announcer en route).

* The movement will also be documented on video, complete with casual interviews with the public and participants.

There will be a small 'street concert' on the sidewalk at the end of the walk. Acoustic guitars and poetry will be out in the open. Performances will be related to Greenlight’s mission of ‘healing our inner and outer environments’ – i.e. positive, conscious, awareness raising, etc.

*

JOIN US.

It will be fun.

To sign up for a specific word or just to say that you will be coming, send us an e-mail.

Meeting recap

Dear Greenlights,

Coconut tree at Balandra

*

A quick recap of our meeting on Tuesday 6th June, 2006. Thanks to those who attended the meeting. Your input was invaluable and we feel we are building a strong team of people who will get things done whilst having fun in the process.

*

The following points were discussed:
1. This Saturday (10th June), some of the Greenlights will be going back to the mangrove area in Felicity, Chaguanas to see how possible it will be to collect more plastic bottles for recycling (The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. project). The area has been/is being dredged, so the pathway is not as user friendly, but it may still be possible to get work done on foot. Those interested in going with Glen and crew can meet at Glen's house/Greenlight headquarters (21 Lyndon Street, Curepe) at 6:00 on Saturday coming. For more information, e-mail Greenlight.

2. We discussed Greenlight t-shirts (several print quotes are being investigated). The plan is to print round-necked tees (logo & funky environmental design) for casual wear and button-up polos (with logo on front pocket only) for meetings. We would love artists/creative people in the group to develop designs (for the funky round-neck) so that a favoured design can be selected. Design submission requirements (for funky round neck t-shirt) will be properly outlined in a separate e-mail. But for now, artists, start thinking - and remember to include the logo in your concept. (Other specifics to come).

3. On Saturday July 1st we will be gathering in Tunapuna market at 8 a.m. for The REvolution. We will need over 50 people for this venture, which will take us from Tunapuna to Curepe junction by 10 .m. Sidewalk Radio has expressed interest in teaming up with us on this venture - assisting through announcements, live radio call ins frmo the road during the 2 hours of our project on that day, etc. An outline of this project will be written up and sent to the group in the near future so you will know exactly what this positive movement is all about.

4. We discussed THE SOURCE, our Woodstock-style whole day environmental concert - now carded for October. Two venues (in the East) are being investigated, artistes are to be contacted, sponsors sourced and other elements put into place. Let us know if you are interested in being a part of this (committed) core organising team.

Our next meeting will be on Monday 19th June

from 6 p.m. at 21 Lyndon Street, Curepe

(jot it down in your dairy).

All of the points listed above will be fleshed out further at this meeting.

Happy World Environment Day

... even though we believe that every day is Environment Day.
