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.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 If anyone hears about free tickets to this event, can you post details? Last year several local businesses were giving out free day passes. I'm all for supporting these kinds of events, but $15/person is a little steep...

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Working Assets Long Distance sent its customers complimentary tickets, perhaps to their Visa customers, as well.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hi Kim, If you are " all for supporting these kinds of events " , then consider volunteering. I volunteered last year and it was really rewarding. For only a few hours of my time, I got to meet some fabulous people, I walked away with a sense of contribution, accomplishment, and pride, and I got a T-shirt and a FREE weekend pass for both days. http://www.greenfestivals.com/volunteers.html I would suggest signing up now since the good volunteer spots fill up fast. However, even clean-up crew (what I did last year) wasn't too bad. I helped Global Exchange take down their booth and pack up their cars.
