 Event producers, venue operators, volunteers, folks looking for paid work greening, here's what's going on so far in 2008, with more coming in every day. What it means to be green: workable systems and practices that support the planet; COMPOSTING all organic waste, moving past plastics, educating all participants to live lighter on the planet. BYOB - water bottle, that is, and while we're at it, bring our own everything. Greening done right moves Green Mary out of a job as we pack it in, pack it out and kiss the hostess, Mother Earth, on our way out the door.

We've got a fabulous system after six years of doing nothing but event greening - ready for fancy indoor events, or funky outdoor festivals, amassing reusable dishware and working toward a mobile industrial dishwasher... supporting your event and the planet, too. |
