According to a recent e-mail to their mailing list of staff and volunteer alumni, Clean Vibes is back for their 11th summer of responsible waste management at music festivals across the country.  

We have already been very busy gearing up for what promises to be the busiest Clean Vibes season to date.  Lots of new festivals are making a commitment to reduce their footprint and want to work with us to ensure that they are walking the sustainable walk, not just talking the talk.  We are also exploring the possibility of spreading the Clean Vibe into new realms of events that are very different from our beloved music festivals.  All of this is a bit overwhelming but also very exciting as it will allow us to educate a much wider spectrum of people about recycling and responsible waste habits.

All that being said, we are now accepting applications for the 2008 season. The new applications can be downloaded from our website.

Please be sure to read the descriptions of the positions carefully.  For all returning supervisors, you have the option of having a phone interview/recap with me in lieu of a written application.  If you are interested in a phone interview, please email me and we will set up a time to talk.  Also, as always, all applicants have the option of submitting an audio version of the narrative section of the application in case you feel more comfortable speaking your answers than writing them.

…

Finally, we will begin signing up volunteers for Langerado within a few days.  As soon as the event is activated in the database, I will send an email to the database to let everyone know that they can sign up.  Sorry for the delay on the sign up for this event – it has taken several months to finalize our involvement in Langerado.  We hope to see lots of familiar faces in south Florida next month!

Please be in touch if you have any questions and we hope to see you soon!
