The folks from Global Inheritance, a California-based nonprofit have announced a new program centered around alternative energy called energyFACTory.
Already involved in six different campaigns "working to reinvent activism for today's young generation," GI focuses "on the power of creativity to communicate and push for progressive social change while rejecting conflict." Now, in addition to their ongoing Fashion Peace, Trashed, Trashed Recycling Store, Tour Rider, You're The Bomb, Instrumental Assistance projects, Global Inheritance is planning a full blown 10 day event scheduled to take place in California in late April/early May. The call has gone out searching for engineers, architects and artists to help design, construct and operate "a compelling and creative installation to showcase the possibilities of alternative fuels and energy sources." Additionally, GI are looking for qualified energy scientists, environmentalists, and teachers to help educate attendees on the issues surrounding alternative energy as well as general assistance installing and operating a massive museum-style installation.
If you want to help out, here are the contacts:

Also, check out the GI myspace page. Their main website serves as a portal to their various projects and has scant info on exactly who Global Inheritance is and what they are striving to achieve. Yet with such exciting and inventive packaging for causes anybody can feel good supporting, as well as a diverse list of partners, including Apple, Focus Features, Coachella, X Games, Street Scene, Knitting Factory, Loomstate, Netflix, Pool Tradeshow, Atlantic Records, MAGIC International, Swindle Magazine, Black Book Magazine, ESPN, MySpace, Thievery Corporation, Atticus, Flavorpill, Warped Tour, DVS, Kangol, Fuel TV, and Voodoo Music Experience, they are obviously onto something great.
