Dear Colleagues,
If you live in the Boston area or are planning a visit soon, don't
miss the second
Boston GreenFest 2009,
this Thursday through Saturday, August 20-22, 2009!
Karen Weber, the Boston GreenFest Coordinator and Executive Director
of the Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. (Green our roofs, green
our planet!) says, "Boston GreenFest 2009 will bring together
community groups, corporations, small businesses, nonprofits,
government agencies and citizens to share new technologies and ideas
that can immediately change our daily lives and help bring about a
more sustainable future.
"Boston GreenFest 2009, the Foundation for a Green Future, Inc., and
local volunteers will seek to connect with a broad audience from
across all Boston neighborhoods to bring an inspiring message of
action and change. Together we will work toward sustainability
through art, music, fashion, discussions and interactive exhibits.
By engaging participants, young and old, we will search for new
ideas to reduce our impact on our planet."
The festivities will include "Project Recycle Runway," a walk
through the Time Tunnel, gospel with the Boston Community Choir, fun
with the "YoYo Show," lots more entertainment, food, and fun
activities for children. Festival-goers will learn what it means to
eat and grow local organic food, improve nutrition and healthcare,
green our city, build healthy communities, take political action,
create green jobs and a green economy. Aside from educational
exhibits - including those about greenroofs, of course - there will
be some wonderful music with three stages including over 40 live
acts, and a GreenFilmFest, too.
Speaking of films, we'll be premiering the inaugural episode of our
WebTV series "Sky Gardens" here, so hope you can make it!
