Together, Phillip and Sunshine will make their way to Taos, NM for the world renowned Earthship Academy program. There, they will join 38 other students from all over the world to receive extensive training on the principles of sustainable design, construction methods, and philosophy. Earthships are a complete off-grid housing system that runs on solar power, catches rainwater, and is built from almost 50% recycled materials. The concept was invented by Earthship Academy founder, Michael Reynolds, who started designing them in 1970. Taos, NM is the original location for Michael Reynolds' early works, and now serves as an educational center to teach people about Earthships and Earthship build.

"It's gonna be an awesome trip!" -Sunshine

Announcement: "veghippy van" campaign and Sunshine's Big Trip!!

Time for a Roadtrip!!!

Dear Friends,

veghippy is announcing the "Big Trip 2014" to gather stories from across the United States about sustainable living and environmentalism. We'll post pictures, interviews, and coming soon...videos! of all the latest developments in technology and the many creative solutions Americans across the country have come up with to solve the problems in sustainability and proper Earth management. We're putting it all together right here on one website.

Join us on this epic journey as Sunshine transforms her family's big green van into...the "veghippy van"!

veghippy's Big Trip 2014 | My new trip on Roadtrippers.com!

Sunshine begins her journey from her home town in New York to travel to TEN major cities:

1) Chicago IL

2) Boulder CO

3) Taos NM

4) Sedona AZ

5) Los Angeles CA

6) Austin TX

7) New Orleans LA

8) Atlanta GA

9) Asheville NC

10) Washington DC

But she needs your help! As you can see on the map, it will take over $1000 in gas fare to make the trip! Not including tolls! Sunshine is asking for donations to help her on her very first cross country trip.

Please visit the YouCaring Fundraiser website to donate to the Big Trip 2014.

"I can't do it without you!!! Please donate so I can make this trip successful. I am so excited to see what is happening in the other cities across the nation and people's efforts to change our energy systems and become more environmentally sustainable. Whether it's on the individual level or amongst small businesses or hopefully on the greater political level, I want to understand what is truly happening in our country's consciousness as we are shifting to 'Going Green.' Even just a $20 donation today will help me fill up half a tank! I appreciate your help!" -Sunshine

Note: Sunshine struggled with the idea of driving a gas vehicle across country because obviously it goes against being environmentally sustainable! But due to lack of funds she found no other way to do this trip. Sunshine believes that the project will gain more awareness and attention toward living more sustainably that the environmental effects of her drive will be recovered from her efforts. Sunshine also hopes that one day the United States will have a better infrastructure to support things like electric vehicles to make trips across country! Thank you for your understanding.

The veghippy van will start its engine on the Big Trip 2014 in early September!
