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!
