This festival is teamed up with AIRE, which is the Appalachian Institute of Renewable Energy. There will be signigificant proceeds from the festvival to this AIRE. They seek to reduce the region’s dependence on mountain-top removal coal mining and other nonrenewable energy sources, and to create economically and environmentally sustainable livelihoods. They promote local and regional economic development based on renewable energy production–economies characterized by citizen control and community benefit. They work to educate policy makers, organize local communities, research appropriate technologies, and support community-scale energy projects. For information about AIRE, please visit:
