Hello, SuperForest! It’s been awhile, but I wanted to tell you that Carla, Iman, Jackson, and yours truly will be at San Diego’s Earth Fair, which is held in Balboa Park from 10 AM to 5 PM tomorrow, April 18th.
You can see Carla’s last post HERE, which has a bunch of information as to what we might be planning to do, as well as a friendly map which I will repost here:
As you can see, we’re very close to the action. We’ve been working and playing (one in the same, no?) all day to get ready, and we are ready. Ready to have fun, ready to meet you guys, and ready to spread the SuperForesty message. Check us out if you’re in the area.
Here’s the complimentary EarthFair Website, which outlines everything you gotsa know, which is that you gotsa come.
I hope you’re having an astonishingly superb day! As you probably know, Earth Day was the day before yesterday and here in SD we celebrated it with Earth Fair last Sunday. This Earth Fair (the largest free annual environmental fair in the world!) took place at Balboa Park, a large collection of museums and beautiful gardens, arguably one of the most beautiful spots in San Diego. The set up was crowded and busy, packed with over 400 booths each representing their own cause or company and was the perfect place to spread SuperForesty goodness!
Last Friday, two days before the actual event, I decided that Earth Fair was too great an opportunity for SuperForest to pass up. Two days of fun work later, I (accompanied by SuperForester Carla and SuperForester Nika) showed up to the fair, laden with peaceful propaganda that promoted not only SuperForest, but what we hoped to be a representation of the idea that San Diego Earth Fair 2009 would be less about selling material things and more about promoting the positive simplicity of sustainability.
As I explained in the video, we spent the day hanging posters, spreading the Humanifesto to those interested, and most notably, speaking with booths about SuperForest and asking them to put up small signs with our URL and a short description of what we were about. In total, we handed out 20 copies of the Humanifesto, hung up –and walked around holding up– 5 posters, and got 6 gracious booths to help promote our cause: Simple, Plant with Purpose, Cyber-Rain, US Green Building Council, I Love Making Stuff and the Barona Valley Environmental Sustainability Program. Each of these wonderful booths deserves its own post and you’ll definitely read more about them in the near future.

It was an amazing experience. And although it was incredibly hot, and I was very very sick (you may notice that I seem to forget my own name in the video haha), it was awesome to see the power of human interaction. Seeing the booths unite under a common purpose and their kindness in helping us out, along with seeing peoples’ faces as they squinted trying to read my handmade signs filled me with a surge of hope and happiness. Yay! Limitless proof of human kind’s willingness to help one another and be open to positivity is alive, well, and all around us.
Have a wonderful weekend,
