For more information about Verde\, visit www.verdenw.org. \n \nABOU T SOLV \nAlso in attendance will be SOLV\, a statewide project that connec ts Oregonians to environmental resources and volunteer opportunities in the ir local communities. Governor Tom McCall and other community leaders estab lished SOLV in 1969 when they saw the need for community action to address growing problems in the ever-growing state. Today\, SOLV annually provides resources to more than 250 Oregon communities\, focusing on cleanup\, beaut ification and enhancement projects. SOLV creates an average of 50\,000 volu nteer opportunities across the state and\, since 1997\, has provided an est imated $60\,000\,000 in service to Oregon. For more information about SOLV\ , visit http://www.solv.org. \n \nABOUT FRIENDS OF TREES \nFriends of Tree s is an organization easily recognized by its work planting trees around Po rtland\, including the new arboreal additions to the Milagro streetscape on both Sixth Avenue and Stark Street. Each year Portland's trees remove mill ions of pounds of pollutants from the air and keep half a billion gallons o f stormwater from polluting our rivers. Since its founding in 1989\, Friend s of Trees' volunteers have planted hundreds of thousands of trees in the P ortland-Vancouver metro area to increase this beneficial tree cover. For mo re information about Friends of Trees\, visit http://www.friendsoftrees.org . \n \nABOUT EQUAL EXCHANGE \nEqual Exchange\, a worker-owned co-operative that specializes in the fair trade of coffee\, teas and chocolates\, will a lso make an appearance at the fair. Its vision includes empowering farmers and consumers through a fair trade model of economic exchange that utilizes environmentally sustainable standards of agribusiness. In the context of a gricultural commodities "fair trade" is a voluntary program practiced by so me importers and food companies to create an alternative market for traditi onally disadvantaged producers in developing countries\, usually small-scal e farmers. For more information about Equal Exchange\, visit www.equalexcha nge.com. \n \nABOUT “EL ÚLTIMO” \nAt the edge of the world\, Mapuche S hamans\, an eco-feminist and a soul-searching logger converge at a lone sta nd of trees on a windswept island in Patagonia. There\, nature awaits its d estiny as the power struggle of culture\, ecology and greed determines thei r future. What is gained\, and what is lost as these individuals attempt to reconcile their personal ideology with the future of the planet? Kalani\, a timberman associated with the Trillium Corporation\, acquires a small isl and in the Patagonia that he plans to develop into a sustainable logging co mmunity. Upon his arrival he is attacked by Mapuche forest spirits\, and th en Solen\, an old enemy from their environmental wars\, arrives to “save the Mapuches from his invasion. What results is a culture clash that cha llenges each player’s integrity in their quest for utopia. \n \n"El Últi mo" plays for two weeks at the Milagro Theatre in Portland in January befor e beginning a national tour to states such as California\, Oregon\, Washing ton\, Colorado and Rhode Island\, among others. El Último is also part of an integrated-arts learning program entitled The Art of Science\, aimed to share sustainable community building and living techniques through the arts .
