Rockin’ the
Sustainability
Revolution
' Stan Mullins’
Warehouse Art Studio
(650 Pulaski St.)
"Music has always been
at the forefront of social
change. Bands use the
power of their lyrics and
their fan-base to affect a
real change towards sus
tainability," explains Dogwood Alliance Event Promoter, Jenni Laporte. Recognizing the
magnitude of music's capacity to communicate messages of social, political and envi
ronmental activism, the organizers behind Rockin' the Sustainability Revolution have
created an event to showcase live entertainment while simultaneously raising awareness
about issues confronting the community.
Guests are invited to arrive early at 5:30 p.m. for an intimate VIP cocktail recep
tion with a light dinner of locally sourced hors d'oeuvres catered by A Divine Event, in
exchange for a $35 suggested donation. The Josh Phillips Folk Festival will perform a
short set during a silent auction which will feature an R.E.M. poster signed by all band-
members and a skateboard hand-carved by Circle Factory artist George Peterson. Later in
the evening, at 8 p.m. host Stan Mullins' studio will open to the general public for a full
concert by the Josh Phillips Folk Festival, a band that blends folk, soul, R&B and rock.
Proceeds will benefit two organizations: Product Policy Institute, a non-partisan
research and educational organization that promotes state-level policies driving
green product designs and advancing sustainable production and consumption, and
the Dogwood Alliance, a network of 70 groups working to end unsustainable forestry
practices in the South and whose three primary campaigns include "Fast Food Paper
Packaging," "Combating Climate Change" and "Saying No to Burning Forests as Fuel."
Event sponsor R.E.M., who is interested in raising the visibility of regional sustainability
and environmental issues in Athens, has been a supporter of both Dogwood Alliance and
Product Policy Institute for several years.
