Green Festival, a joint venture between San Francisco-based Global Exchange and Green America, showcases leaders, educators, authors, and entrepreneurs in the green sector to interested individuals across the country. The 5-city tour includes San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, and Washington DC. November 13-15, Green Festival will be setting up shop in the Bay Area to present show goers with an extensive schedule of speakers — over 125 in all — as well as hundreds of green businesses that offer unique products and services.

Keynote speakers include Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, holistic health maven Queen Afua, and progressive rappers Dead PREZ. Topics include everything from aquaponics to spirituality, making this event a veritable grab-bag for anyone who is eco-interested. The event will even feature children's events like animal shows and interactive experiments, and an official after party and concert schedule.

Green Festival seeks to bring together the environmentally conscious in order to create opportunities to live socially, economically, and environmentally healthier lives. Green festival is currently the largest sustainability event in the world, and purchases renewable energy and sets zero-waste targets that it has come increasingly close to achieving.
