I am working with Latin American colleagues in search of funding to complete education facility construction and to implement demonstations and educational programs to foster sustainable behavior in a specific Latin American region. This region includes crucial and endangered habitat that range from cloud forests to salt water bays. These habitat, and the integrated lifestyles of the communities they support, are currently under threat from a combination of envisioned shifts: 1) from shade grown coffeee to corn production on steep slopes, and 2) from indigenous production to ecotourism that, unless managed well, will disrupt the water balance of the region. Can anyone direct me to the key sources that might fund completion of these educational facilities, demonstrations, and programs? I would especially appreciate contact information of specific foundation and/or international agency personnel in Washington with whom we might visit.

I'm not sure what size/scale events you've got in mind, but in Melbourne (Australia) our govt funded Waste Wise program provides a hireable service called 'wash against waste'. A small van with non-disposable crockery, etc is provided for self catering and washing up afterwards. No waste - its suitable to a picnic type arrangement (company family day?) more than a stadium of people though. Although it is used for the catering at the Sustinable Living Festival which attracts over 100 000 people over 3 days...... http://www.nrwmg.vic.gov.au/wastewise/community/waw/content/content.html Monique Swinburne University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code: 00111D
