kind events: los angeles green festival
This weekend, the non-profit Green America is putting on a Green Festival at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown LA. The festival is open to everyone, and features some phenomenal speakers. Best of all admission is only ten bucks!
The Green Festival is a two-day celebration of eco-friendly solutions that are working in our communities. Festivities include presentations by more than 125 green experts, DIY workshops, films, kids activities, organic beer and wine, organic veg cuisine, music, and a marketplace of local and national green businesses and organizations. The festival is now in its tenth year and 25,000 people are expected to attend the Los Angeles event.
One of my favorite green experts, Mary Cordaro (you know her from my previous healthy home posts), is speaking about pregnancy, babies and healthy home interiors on Sunday. Mary is the real deal, an expert on all things green and healthy. I trust her so much, and $10 to hear her speak is an absolute steal. So if you live in LA, go for it! Even if you don't have kids, this talk would be great to attend to pick up some healthy home tips for yourself. We're all little babies deserving a healthy home environment!
Here are the details about the festival:

Pregnancy, Babies, and Healthy Home Interiors
With Mary Cordaro
Sunday, October 30 at 4:30PM
Green Building and Alt Energy Stage
"When it comes to healthy buildings and interiors, the most important and sensitive individual is by far the developing baby. Join Mary Cordaro to learn how to make better materials, ventilation and electrical decisions for a healthy home. Whether you are currently pregnant, are planning a family, or have small children, Mary has home health tips you can use right now."
For those of you who don't live in LA, Mary also recorded a radio show on this topic recently. You can check it out here.

I can't wait for this! We're expecting our first baby and I really want to see the Sacred Birth presentation, Mary Cordaro's presentation, and the "Here comes the baby - are you ready?" lecture. (cause I know we're not!) We clearly have green vegan babies on the brain. And most importantly, Lane Gold's presentation of vegan junk food! Pregnancy cravings - take that!

Hi Alicia! ECO SWIM is working on our approval with Green America and we can't wait to attend the Green Festival in New York City. I'm so glad you are writing about it! They are such an amazing community to be a part of. Keep up the good work!

I wished I could, but this weekend is a tricky one with so many Halloween parties. Bad timing, otherwise I would definitely attend!
I just got back from the Healthy Lifestyle Expo put on by VegSource 10/14-16 and it was AMAZING! I learned so much from presenters like Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Don Forrester, Dr. McDougall, Dr. Fuhrman, Pam Popper, Jeff Novick, Rip Esselstyn, Julieanna Hever (who will be on Dr. Oz THIS Friday talking about Plant-Based nutrition) and more...amazing! I will definitely be there next year and totally recommend it for.

And NJ is far from green..kind of a bummer since it's the Garden State and all. I wish we had more events like this in my area. NY is a favorite day trip so I'm definitely checking out the one in April

Oh I wish there was something like that here in the Nashville area! Believe it or not Tennessee is pretty green but this just sounds like an awesome place to be. What a deal for just $10.00!!
