The Green Mountain Eco Project is a collaboration of educators, artists, musicians, and event planners who are working together to raise awareness about the various ways we can improve our planet's future health. Our mission is to spread the word 'sustainability' by hosting fun, educational, & inspirational festivals & workshops, as well as through ongoing educational efforts at the Green Mountain
Sustainability Center in the Missouri Ozarks. We also have an ensemble of educators & entertainers who are traveling on biodiesel buses to other organizations' events and setting up the Green Earth Village in order to reach even more people! Wherever we go, we set up hands-on activities, workshops, speakers, discussions, sustainability demonstrations and entertainment. By providing interactive, fun & educational environments, we are showing people that if we all work together, we can easily change the future!
