Jack Johnson, singer and songwriter, is performing at the Amway Arena in Orlando, FL and has invited Simple Living Institute to participate in their Green Village at the concert. With Jack Johnson's "All at Once" initiative his nonprofit is helping environmental nonprofits like ours work towards Sustainable Food Systems and a Plastic Free world. They are donating $500, ten free concert tickets, and giving us an opportunity to fund raise with a matching grant of up to $2,500. If you would like to donate write "All at once match" in the check memo. Our Simple Living Video Contest has officially begun, and later this summer we will be having an open mic, and more chances to win concert tickets at our 2010 Benefit Concert!>View Our Jack Johnson Participation Page >View Our 2010 Benefit Concert Page >View the Video Contest Flyer >View the Jack Johnson Cover Song Contest Flyer 02.24.210Uncle Matt's Organic Citrus Orchard in Clermont, FL allowed simple livers to come for a tour.Uncle Matt's Grove Tour with Simple Living Founder from Uncle Matt's Organic on Vimeo. 02.08.2010Join us for our Seed Exchange at our upcoming Organic Growers meeting.
