I volunteered at the San Francsico Green Festival 2009 that took place at the Concourse Exhibition Hall. Gavin Newsom, mayor of San Francisco had made a guest appearance at the event as well and spoke about support for green jobs, hybrids, composting, etc.
Green Festival is a joint project put together by Global Exchange and Green America and I was helping the booth out at Green America to get people to make a video about their Green resolution. The festivals have numerous keynote speakers and had plenty of booths and vendors. There was some interesting stuff there and it was cool to see what kind of new things come up in the green scene every so often. There were plenty of cool eco fashion booths, organic food, renewable energy, and more.
Once again its time for the annual Green Festival! The SF Green Festival takes place on Nov 13-15th at the Concourse Exhibition Center and will have 125 renowned authors, leaders and educators, 350 eco-friendly businesses, workshops, films, kids activities, and more!
The event is a non profit joint project of Global Exchange and Green America and is run by volunteers. If you don’t want to pay, you should volunteer and help out so that you can check it out for free and get a T-shirt!
