Many people aren’t aware of the enormous stress our clothing choices place on the Earth: from pesticides and chemical dyes to child labor and landfill space, the true casualties of the fashion industry don’t make it into many magazines. Earth advocacy groups implore us to purchase as many articles as needed to cover the 68 pounds of clothing each American will throw away each year from second-hand sources. No surprise then that visionaries like the folks at Community have found a way to make that hot: redesigned vintage.

‘What good can we do?’ was the question that started it all. And at 3am on a drifting boat in Boston Harbor, three best friends came up with their answer: Road Trip! Love, The Bus was born, a mission to find and fund the worthiest youth causes of America. But the three know they can’t do it alone, so they’re trying to get as many people involved along the way as possible.

Through advancements in mobile technology and social media trends, the trip is crowd sourcing ideas; of where to go, who to help, and what to do during the adventure.

The three are accepting challenges from viewers (their version of a marathon run for charity) and as they complete them, they fund youth and community driven organizations, all suggested by their viewers.

It’s a story about following dreams, and giving back through creativity and modern means. They are discovering just what three guys and a bus can do to help others, and they need you to get involved to add spontaneity, adventure, and hilarity to their trip, while raising your suggestions of America’s best youth causes.
