Green Festival

Where can you join more than 125 authors, leaders and educators, attend how-to workshops, watch cutting-edge films, engage in fun activities and enjoy organic beer and wine along with delicious vegetarian cuisine and diverse live music?

You have four options. Green Festivals are taking place in four states across the nation, with the second of five festivals occuring this weekend, May 2-3, in Denver, Colo.

Here is just a taste of what you can find at the Green Festival.



This year's first festival was in Seattle on March 28-29. The Green Festival continues to spread the sustainability message across the country in the following cities:

Chicago: May 16-17
Washington D.C.: Oct. 10-11
San Francisco: Nov 13-15

There is a something for everyone to enjoy and a lot to learn! Tickets for all events are on sale now but you can also sign up to be a volunteer and receive free admission for a day for every 4.5 hour shift of work.

Happy Earth Day To You!

Tomorrow marks the 39th celebration of Earth Day.

What is Earth Day?
A grassroots movement established in September 1969 at a conference in Seattle. The goal is to address issues and raise awareness about environmental sustainability.

Why April 22?

College students were kept in mind when deciding the date of celebration. April 22 was chosen because it was good timing for good weather but did not conflict with Easter, Passover or final exams. Thirty-nine years later, our environment remains in peril and an effort titled, “The Green Generation Campaign” is dedicated to achieving significant progress before Earth Day 2010.

What is The Green Generation Campaign?

Although college students are targeted most to implement change into the future, the Green Generation Campaign needs people of all ages and nationalities, consumers who are committed to buying green, community leaders who are focused on greening their communities, those who work in green jobs, scientists and engineers who develop green technologies. Basically, anyone committed to a vision of a sustainable planet.

The mission of the Green Generation is to mark the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day in 2010 as the beginning of a new era of environmental responsibility among everyone.

It’s your Earth Day, you can do whatever you want to!

What will your part be?

Earth Day can be celebrated in many ways. Here at One Tribe Creative, we are lucky enough to meet business owners and individuals who continue to make a difference every day of the year. There are many ways to do your part also.

Whether it’s just being more conscious of your everyday use of resources and contributing to The Green Generation's "Billion Acts of Green", or attending an Earth Day event to raise awareness of environmental reform. Sustainable living is contagious. This is one bug you want to spread this year!

Here’s to you, Earth!

WaterPartners helps sponsor World Water Day

How many times do you use water per day? The American Water Works Association estimates we use 100 gallons of water in a day. We turn on the faucet and clean water is readily available at our hands, literally. We often take this daily habit for granted but 884 million people worldwide do not share this same convenience.

Our friends at WaterPartners are working to spread access to water to other parts of the world.

Recently, WaterPartners organized an event that attracted 21,000 people to celebrate World Water Day in India. Residents from 500 villages and 211 slums traveled far and wide to join elected officials, international organizations and community leaders to recognize the importance water has on health, sanitation and hygiene.

World Water Day, in its eleventh year, celebrates the improvements made in villages and rallies support to continue future efforts. World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.

The celebration in India also made possible by Gramayala, GUARDIAN and PepsiCo Foundation helps bring attention to increasing access to clean water worldwide in developing communities.
