This Saturday and Sunday Chicago will be hosting the Green Festival at Navy Pier. The Green Festival is a great event for everyone — green professionals and regular folks looking to learn more about all things green...

 
 

The Green Festival features lots of great drinks and food (of course), children's activities, gifts, music, dancing, trade and green business booths, green career information, exhibits, and how-to workshops. And we did we mention the food?

Speakers include Amy Goodman, Alice Waters, Jim Hightower, Mike Farrell, Damali Ayo and many more. Michelle Kaufmann will also be speaking Saturday at 2pm to discuss the Smart Home and will be signing her new book, Prefab Green.

Definitely go. The Denver Green Festival was earlier this month and it was a lot of fun as well as informative.
