Hey everybody!
The First Annual Hemp Ride ( official site: HempRide.org / wiki site: permaculture.wikia.com/wiki/Hemp_Ride ) is scheduled for Saturday, August 11, 2007 at Magnuson Park and you are invited to help bring this unique event to life!
++ About ++
Like WNBR Seattle, Hemp Ride is a grass roots, artistic, first amendment / free speech clothing-optional bike ride relating to sustainability. The main purpose of the ride is to promote legalization of agricultural low-THC industrial hemp in the USA. Thus it is also a protest against Federal laws prohibiting farmers in the USA to grow industrial hemp, as other industrial nations allow all over the world. Its also raises awareness of the dangers of pesticides and other toxins used in conventional cotton/textile raw materials and their negative affect throughout the chain of life on our fragile planet. Many health experts have linked the ever-increasing amount of toxins in our bodies to many of our most common diseases and the health of our soil and water is doing little better.
This event is strategically staged one week prior to Seattle Hempfest hempfest.org and is developing within/alongside the context of an emerging grassroots ecology / sustainability arts festival in Seattle permaculture.wikia.com/wiki/S...estival . The festival is beginning this year as a humble gathering of dedicated people interested in various aspects of the art of sustainability, permaculture and natural living.
Come on over to one (or both) of our upcoming meetings so we can begin to get our hands dirty and have some fun getting ready for Saturday, the 11th! (these meetings follow WNBR meetings which will be starting 45 minutes earlier than times listed below):
