Hey there friends! How’s your Earth Week/US Veg Week going? Are you on board to make Earth Day everyday? We sure hope so!
Now, many question how they can play a part in improving our environment. The answer can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be. Whenever we make a change in our lives, it impacts many around us from our families to wildlife to the air we breathe. Subtle differences over time can be as powerful as one big shift. Again, how do we make that happen? That’s where Green Festivall® can help.
Green Festival, Inc. puts together green living expos throughout the country. They have influencers and experts in environmentalism, sustainability, food and more! Inspiring speakers will give their advice, share tips and educate all who wish to learn about the human and corporate effects on the planet. Not to mention, there’s a marketplace to see some of the latest products that are green/environmentally-friendly.
How excited are we to be going to Green Festival this very weekend!!!! It’s being held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, starting Friday April 24th and running until Sunday, April 26th. That makes THREE DAYS to learn, see and shop! We’ve gone in the past and had a great time, picking up some tips on how many our own beauty products or shopping for recyclable houseware.
