Ecofair • June 5–7, 2009
Green Transportation — Sustainability is a Round Trip Ticket
Put on your walking shoes or hop on your bike to get to the 9th Annual Eco-Fair June 6 & 7 at Maharishi University of Management. This year's Eco-Fair will take a look at the role of transportation and ways to get around car-centric mobility. The Eco-Fair will feature outstanding speakers, practical workshops, inspiring films, a pedestrian mall with vendors, an organized bike ride and the always popular Eco-Jam fashion show and dance party.
Sustainability and Maharishi University
The tradition of the MUM Eco-Fair began in 2001 with a student-driven desire to educate and inspire people about all aspects of sustainability, including self-sufficiency, integrated ecological design in the areas of food production, natural energy, water conservation, waste management, green building construction and community planning.
The 2009 Eco-Fair continues in this tradition, and this year features an emphasis on alternative sustainable transportation and community planning.
Maharishi University of Management’s system of Consciousness-Based education brings unique awareness to this event with the principle of 200% Sustainability: 100% Inner Sustainability of the Individual and 100% Outer Sustainability of the World.
Eco-Jam
The Eco-Jam is an event that celebrates the creative aspect of sustainability. Born out of a student idea to incorporate art and fashion into sustainability, the Eco-Jam is a fashion show that displays organic and recycled clothing made and modeled by MUM students. Previous Eco-Jams have displayed clothing made from recycled fabric, plastic bags, old newspaper, torn pool rafts, discarded chicken wire, bubble wrap and more! This year the Eco-Jam will feature a variety of student designed clothing as well as organic clothing lines. After the fashion show will be a dance party for all to enjoy!

Maharishi University of Management affiliates have free admission. Regular admission is $25 for the entire weekend or $8 per event (FUEL film $4). For students with ID it’s $5 per event (FUEL film $4) or $10 for the entire weekend.
