CommonVision.org

Founded in 1999, Common Vision is a solution-focused nonprofit organization, a project of International Humanities Center. Common Vision's mission is to cultivate ecological awareness and respect for the Earth while generating social and environmental changes towards sustainable lifestyles. We integrate concepts of ecology with the traditions, music, and art of cultures that live or have lived in harmony with the Earth.

This spring Common Vision will run its fourth annual Fruit Tree Tour, a 20-city, 70-day tour planting over 1000 fruit trees at urban California schools from San Diego to Sacremento. Traveling in veggie oil-powered caravan, 25-earth educators from Common Vision teach students about sustainable ecology through a day-long program that includes West African agricultural drumming and earth-conscious hip-hop. The goal of this annual tour is to develop working relationships with teachers and administrators to integrate sustainability into schools' curricula and landscapes, turning barren schoolyards into future food forests.

Re: the common vision fruit tree tour. I heard that they weren't able to plant trees in SD because school administrators were afraid of food fights with fruit.
