Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Anyone going?? i went last year, and while crowded to the gills, it was quite informative.. http://www.greenfestivals.com/ http://www.greenfestivals.com/sanfrancisco.htm The Green Festival, co-produced by Global Exchange and Co-op America, brings together green enterprises, environmental groups, leading thinkers on the green economy, and thousands of attendees for a two-day party with a very serious objective: strenghtening the locally controlled, green economy and expanding popular support for policies aimed at sustainability and social justice. The Green Festival works with thousands of individuals and organizations that are constructing an alternative economy based on three central principles: sustainable economy, ecological balance, and social justice. These principles are springing up at the grassroots level around the world and they take many institutional forms: community supported agriculture, the fair trade movement, eco-labeling, renewable energy companies, local currency movements, farmers' markets, the micro-enterprise lending movement, democratizing pension funds, shareholder activism, socially responsible investing, worker-owned co-ops, and a host of others. The Green Festival is a galvanizing event that brings together businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community members in a fun setting that allows their creative networking energy to flower.
