Treat the earth well.

It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.

We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,

we borrow it from our Children.

~ Ancient Indian Proverb ~

Students for Peace and Earth Justice, a BCTC student organization, collectively works for peace, social equity, ecological sustainability, economic justice, and good governance.

You’re invited to the 5^th Annual Peace and Global Citizenship Fair, organized by BCTC’s Students for Peace and Earth Justice. Co-sponsors are: Central Kentucky Council for Peace and Justice, OpenGround, Bluegrass Greenworks, and Sustainable Berea.

The themes: global understanding .... and local understanding, sustainability, and re-skilling. Enjoy art, live music, Kentucky food, and lots of activities. This event is focused on moving beyond our identity as consumer to identities as participants in community, citizens of the world, and thoughtful and light travelers on this beautiful planet Earth.

Local, global, non-exploitive, fair trade, hand-made, earth conscious, peaceful, beautiful, educational, inclusive, activity-based -- and fun are the watchwords.

This year, in response to the economic and ecological problems that are causing so much hardship, there’ll be a focus on individual and community self-reliance.

Be sure to mark your calendars, and come enjoy the day.
