Green Festival This Weekend

If you are looking to learn or have some fun while learning how to live greener and lighter, don’t forget to check out the annual Green Festival in San Francisco this weekend. This three day event kicks off this Friday afternoon.

Co-produced by Global Exchange and Co-Op America, this year’s festival promises to be even bigger and more boisterous than last year. More than 150 speakers will cover a broad range of topics from green technology to ecoart to sustainable building to general green living. Live music and a hands-on Kids Zone makes this event family-friendly as well. Not to mention the 400 plus exhibitors and all the delicious organic food and drinks available at the event.

Of course, since this is the Green Festival, all foodware will be biodegradable and compostable. Signage will be made from environmentally friendly materials and the festival plans to track and offset all carbon emissions; all in attempt to make Green Festival a zero waste event.

With all the events and displays planned, a one day festival ticket is only $15 (and $25 for all days). And if you bring and donate three books (of good resellable condition) to BetterWorld, you get a $5 ticket discount. Proceeds from book donations will fund girls’ scholarships in developing Asian nations.

For a full listing of events, exhibitors, directions and anything else you want to know, visit Green Festival SF. Hope to see you all there!
