Veggie Bus tour spreading the gospel of sustainability

The gospel of sustainability is taking to the road - not in a chartreuse VW bus, but pretty close...Check out this press release about the "Veggie Bus" tour:

In an eco-configured 1984 Van Hool Tour Coach fueled by recycled vegetable oil, an eclectic and inspired crew is traveling around the United States to educate consumers about conscious living. These "green missionaries" represent the Conscious Goods Alliance (CGA), a group of committed businesses who believe in promoting conscious lifestyles, products and brands, as well as consumers' ability to vote with their dollars.

Started by Stephen Brooks and Zak Zaidman, founders of Kopali Organics, the CGA is now in its third year, touring with 15 conscious companies. "The CGA bus tour generates an incredible amount of buzz around its sponsors and their products, as well as introducing people to alternative energy, sustainable materials and conscious commerce," said Stefan Schachter, co-founder of EcoTeas, one of the tour sponsors.

TK: Look for the bus at your local Whole Foods and Wild Oats. here is more schedule info at http://consciousgoodsalliance.com/
