Border Crossing :: Virgin Festival Calgary & Toronto Summer 2008
March 11, 2010
Global Inheritance ventured up north to visit our friends, the Canadians, and run several great programs.
Last year’s Global Warming Chess episode was memorable. This year's menu included the return of the TRASHed Recycling Store, a solar powered computer lounge and camera/ipod charging station, a how-to-make biodiesel demonstrations, bike powered cell phone charging stations + more. So when people weren’t raging
to STP, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Tradically Hip or the other 5 million bands performing, we offered an escape into a different world with a renewable and recyclable theme.
TD Go Zone hosted the coolest solar powered computer lounge ever with an ipod/camera charging station and live vegetable oil to biodiesel conversions and how-to demos. Everyone at Armstrong (Lisa & Jenny) and TD were amazing. The biodiesel community in Canada is a fraction of what we see here everyday in
Southern California, so the connection with the Canadian festival goers was really cool.
Motorola sponsored Global Inheritance’s bike-powered cell phone charging station, allowing festival goers to stay in charge and in touch with family and friends. (Thank you to Mellisa, Stephanie, Brad and bike models!)
Lastly, Virgin Mobile supported the TRASHed Recycling Store in order to keep the festival grounds clean and the footprint to a minimum. Thank you to Virgin Mobile (Nikisha, Brandi, Mike and Segal) and everyone involved with the festival. Big thanks to all the great companies who donated cool product (WBR, Fuel TV, Loomstate, Much Music, Quiksilver, Logitech ++).
A big shout out to customs for allowing us to bring recycling store prizing across the border.
We've got plenty of photos from both festivals, so make sure you check out these Flickr sets:
