What is TwoFest?
TwoFest is a grass-roots, collaborative event in three locations (Victoria, Nanaimo, Vancouver). It goes beyond the 3 R’s. It ramps up a ‘social pressure’ to get involved.
Marshall McLuhan said: “Music is the literature of the contemporary generation”.
Music is our medium. The environment is our message. In particular, our focus, is easy-access action that can quickly reduce household carbon footprints.
TwoFest is an experience that goes beyond just awareness-building. Results will come with education, actions and structures to support new and enlivening behavior.
We want to ‘swarm all over the problem’ of global warming on the web, in schools, non-profits and the media. We are creating sustained commitments!
Why TwoFest?
We feel that it is imperative to bring awareness of cultural similarities in light of what is happening to the environment around the world. If we as a species do not grow beyond what we perceive to be unbending differences and begin to recognize one-another with, at the very least, a degree of acceptance, tolerance and respect, then we will soon see the demise of our environment and ultimately the planet as a whole.
To this end, Two Fest embraces cultural diversity and environmental consciousness by blending music with an educational, environmental and grass roots orientation.
