If you have ever attended the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, chances are you probably participated in a Global Inheritance program.
Maybe you won Coachella passes for life by carpooling with friends? Fed recyclable bottles to a 40 ft robotic t-rex? Or even drank purified wastewater at the Oasis Water Bar? For almost two decades, we have developed interactive environmental and social initiatives to empower festival attendees and bring attention to important global issues.
