Green Festival 2010 in Washington, DC
October 25, 2010
The Green Festival was held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 and Sunday, October 24, 2010 in Washington DC at the Convention Center. The Sunday event was amazing. The moment you step in the door, there were a wide but diverse exhibitors that demonstrated and promoted health, renewal energy, transportation, and fashion.
During the Sunday event, Mom’s Organic was giving away tote bags and free sample of Cliff Bars which were absolutely delicious. Another area of interest at the Green Festival that was fascinating was renewal energy. Seeing this area of interest of renewal energy gave a way to look at how a person can reduce their energy or electricity is by using solar panels. The solar panels that were exhibited by the exhibitors has an advantage of giving back to the environment and saving money on electricity.
Around 12pm, there was a cooking demonstration from Stephen White on Cooking Raw. One demonstration that I saw from Mr. White was that he took the vegetables that was in his bowl(broccholi, carrots, and other vegetable) used a food processor to shred them and added a light dressing to it and gave it to the audience. This delicious vegetable mixed gives true meaning to Cooking Raw.

At 2:00pm, there was a fashion show. The theme was about accessories. The show was about 15 minutes in length and the fashion show displayed various fashions from exhibitors from the Green Festival. One that particular that stood out in my mind was a yellow crochet top with black pants and a flower pink bag to go with the outfit.
The Green Festival that was held in Washington DC on October 23rd and 24th gave way to look at the many different areas that may interest of interest to a person may it be in health, beauty, transportation, or even fashion, it was such an opportunity to see a different perspective of being green.
