Chicago Green Festival (part one)

Today and tomorrow is/was the Chicago Green Festival.  This will be a quick recap because I have a lot of photos that I want to get up here, too.  I was able to connect with a lot of people I met over the two days at the Co-op America Green Business Conference.  I was also able to connect with a lot of new friends, too.  I was amazed at the amount of Chicago business represented.  Some I knew about, others, I didn’t.  Here are a few of my favorites: EcoScene (Aimee, it was great to finally meet you after emailing each other for the past 4 months), Recycle Me Organic Tees (these guys were so nice and seems like a great new business - very cool shirts - simple and clean), Natural Fitness (they make great Yoga products - my wife bought one of their natural rubber yoga mats a few months ago), Chillster (they make these glasses that have a gardening substance in the bottom that freezes really well - keeping drinks nice and cold for a long time - reusable and practical) and ReusableBags.com (I’ve raved about them in the past - check ‘em out, yo).

I also saw Jill at WeAddUp.com - her company makes these very cool tees (and a few other products) that help fight global warming.  They have a ton of different choices for “green things” that you do that all add up in the fight.  I like “Shower Together” - that sounds like fun.  Each t-shirt is printed with a custom number - what will your number be? 

I have a lot more to write, but I’ll stop here for now.  If you read this tonight or tomorrow and are local - go to Green Fest!  Go now!
