this is fantastic my puppies would love it!

I am most excited to try new vegan food and watch live cooking demonstrations! They are always so high energy and you can learn how to make yummy new dishes!

I would love to go to the green festival...ever since I talked my husbands petroleum company in to go "green" and no we have geothermal projects--I've been wanting to show him what else is out there! Being Vegan for only a month I feel like a million bucks and would love to be part of a comunity. and see what else is out there!!! =o)

I just finished reading your book and immediately signed up to your website and saw the event! This will be my first Green event and I'm a new Vegan....! Started out as med reasons...now I add animal compassion. I want to see all that is out there to stimulate me to go Green and 'grow' even more! Thank you for a great book!!! Ps I tried Bok Choy for the first time last night! Boy, what else have I been missing? Hope to find out at the Green Festival!!! Barbara Montgomery

Green design, products and living! Oh, and organic veg food will round things out nicely.

This sounds like a wonderful event! I am living proof (almost 50:) that a vegan diet helps you live a healthy and wonderful life. I grew up vegetarian (hippy parents on a commune:), followed macrobiotics for many years, and eat a whole food, plant based diet. Raised a child like that (and a husband:). From organic (lawn) farming to chairing the ethical eating group in our urban community, I can say that eating well during my life has given me the energy and enthusiasm to fight for food equality and health for those that are in need! There is much work to be done and it appears to be happening one mouthful at a time. I love this site and refer to it frequently. Keep up the great work everyone! You are riding the crest of an incredible wave. What an exhilarating place to be!

I would love the opportunity to win the tickets and go to the festival and bring my 10 year old son. He's getting the idea about green, organic, healthy living, well, because he doesn't have any other options. LOL I would like for him to be in the presence of like minded people and be able to see for himself, "what this green thing is all about." He's amazing and so aware. I have a gluten intolerance and he looks at labels for me and tells me, "Mom, this has wheat in it." So darn cute.

I am a single mother and would be so appreciative to be able to take my son to this green festival and we could both discover new things together.

I would love to see the variety of companies that offer eco friendly options for my house. I just recently bought a non-toxic pillow made of kapok based upon one of Alicia's blog posts. I'm looking around my home seeing what else I can replace and make my home a healthier organic holistic place to be!

*and ps the pillow really works. One night my boyfriend wanted to try it and after a night of sleeping on a pillow that was most likely dipped in BFR i had a sore throat and was congested! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new pillow, and it's super comfy to sleep on.

I would love to find go to the vendors there and discover ways to breen more green products back home to Guam and perhaps even open up my own store there :)

Hi everyone! Personally, I am very very excited about the green festval because as a new vegetarian who is working towards completely transitioning to the vegan life style, I feel that my life has substantially changed as a result of my new way of eating. I am looking to take my new and healthy life style a step further and am planning to find a way to incorporate it into my chosen career path (I am currently working on a Master of Social Work) so I am very much looking forward to not just the food and drink aspects of the green festival, but the "movement building for sustainable communities," "Getting L.A. Off Coal," "Fair Trade and the Environment: Benefiting People and the Planet," and "Voto Latino: Shaking Up America's Political Establishment" discussions and presentations. I feel like a kid in a candy store - it seems that with this change to do what is best for myself, my body, and the planet, I have been inducted into this society and world that I never knew existed, and that sadly many people are completely unaware of. I plan to continue to learn more about the green movement as much as I can so that I help to bring awareness to those around me both personally and professionally. Thanks for Kind Diet Alicia - it has made me aware of issues that I never realized existed and has changed my life!
