Just back from the San Francisco Green Festival, billed as the country's largest sustainability event. The show was packed for most of the three days and attendees were bombarded with great speakers, delicious food, and an overwhelming number of green products to choose from.
Helping us out at this exhausting event were friends Barb Andrews of the California Academy of Sciences, David McGuire of Sea Stewards, and Max Davis. Lots of interest in helping sea turtles by San Franciscans, including the mayor himself, Gavin Newsom (pictured with David and Barbara holding a loggerhead skull).
Our favorite booths there included:
-Snow Leopard Trust: Check these folks out for great holiday gifts produced by ranchers who help protect these gorgeous creatures. I picked up a bunch of ornaments for our tree.
-Sustainable Harvest International: These great folks support efforts by farmers in Central America to grow more sustainably. They have great eco-trips too through their Smaller World program.
-Earthwatch: One of our favorite partners. Check out their turtle trips on our site.
-Kid Command: Fun and educational video games for kids. Much better than Wi if the kids are stuck inside.
-MamaShaman: Very creative shoes made from molas of the Kuna people in Panama. Fair trade and beautiful!
