DeJoria and the late Paul Mitchell built the Mana La Solar car in 1987 for the first solar-powered car race from Darwin to Adelaide, Australia.

Walking for Water
Aveda's global Walk for Water campaign is the week of April 22, 2010. The series of walks acknowledge the daily struggle of more than
one billion people globally who do not have access to clean water. The six-kilometer walk reflects the average distance women in developing countries must walk daily to collect water. This global initiative hopes to raise awareness, funds and understanding of the need to protect clean water. Visit aveda.com for details.

campaign. Visit michaelssalon.com to learn more.
