Today we walked in Biloxi Mississippi for a great cause. We started at a great memorial that we will all remember, the Katrina Hurricane Memorial. That was truly a disaster that we want to put behind. Brent Evans and Raleigh Hoke spoke about the importance of water and why Aveda Salons worldwide and Gulf Restoration Network are working hard to support clean water on our coast. Aveda has been doing this for the last couple of years by partnering with great groups like the Gulf Restoration Network and Clean Air Green Tour.
Gulf Restoration Network works to build a unified voice for the protection of restoration of the Gulf of Mexico's natural resources and beauty.

Today the walk consisted of a beautiful 6km through downtown Biloxi past the Hard Rock Casino, Beau Rivage, and along the beautfiul coast. The walk end at Town Green Park and concluded with a couple of drawings and guest speaker James Paar of Clean Air Green Tour. James spoke about what the Clean Air Green Tour has been doing since 2006 and has planted over 150,000 trees and traveled the country educating consumers about how they can help. The 2010 Clean Air Green Tour will start in June and hit the road with new sponsors and a new message.
