Press Release:
At Green Festival®, a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America, we’re celebrating what’s working in our communities—for people, business and the environment.
Think of Green Festival® as a walk through a sustainable community. It begins with finding solutions to help make our lives healthier—socially, economically and environmentally. Individuals along with business and community leaders come together to discuss critical issues that impact us at home and abroad. Organizations and businesses showcase programs and products that restore the planet and all that inhabit it. Neighbor-to-neighbor connections are formed, and skills are shared to empower people to create positive change in the world.
Join us at the nation’s premier sustainability event, where you will see the best in green. Enjoy more than 125 renowned authors, leaders and educators; great how-to workshops; cutting-edge films; fun activities for kids; organic beer and wine; delicious vegetarian cuisine and diverse live music. Shop in our unique marketplace of more than 350 eco-friendly businesses—everything from all-natural body care products and organic cotton clothing to Fair Trade gifts and beautiful kitchen tiles made from renewable resources.
See the most recent developments in renewable energy and green technology; sample Fair Trade chocolate and coffee (yes, they really do taste better); and learn how to invest in your community, green your home and avoid products made in sweatshops.
Recharge your batteries with all the hope, inspiration and practical ideas you’ll find at the one and only Green Festival®.

Is there an area we can post these updates where the building can see them? Activities like this would be nice to see somewhere (maybe a bulletin board in the mailroom)??
ReplyDeleteWell I'm happy to post any announcement here, but in terms of the building doing it, that's on them. I have posted before that it would be a good idea to have a community board where these types of things could be posted. I understand that such a thing might get out of hand, but if it were over by the coffee machine the concierge could keep an eye on it. There could also be a menu bank, where menu ninja's could drop a stack of menus instead of slipping one under our door every other week and walking around our hallways unsupervised.
