Lexicon of Sustainability
The Lexicon of Sustainability is based on a simple premise: People can’t be expected to live more sustainable lives if they don’t even know the most basic terms and principles that define sustainability.

Youth Mural
The ‘Seasons of Hope’ mural consists of four 8’ x 8’ free-standing panels that show the same tree in four seasons, inspired by the Shift Network: The Winter of Wellness, the Spring of Sustainability, the Summer of Peace and the Autumn of Abundance. Over 1,000 students have created leaves for the murals and learned about Ambassadors of Hope in the process. The finished murals will travel to 20 Marin County schools, San Quentin Prison, the Bioneers Conference, and to Congress. Bread for the Journey of Marin helped by providing $800 to purchase the art supplies for the project, and is working to find a filmmaker who can help AHO create a short documentary of the creation of the mural to increase visibility for AHO’s remarkable work in Marin County.

Trashion Show
Produced by Truckee High School’s Envirolution Club.
High fashion collides artistically with recycling as youth designers use their creative talents, humor and refuse from a throwaway society to fashion a message of environmental responsibility. This show rocks the house.
