SF Green Fest 2005





What an inspiring festival. Lots of things to blog about over the next days. I was struck by how good the products were: ornaments, food, health and beauty, building and construction, home furnishings, academic degrees ....

These companies and non-profits will need our collective purchase power to survive and flourish. Let's start by spending 10% of our Holiday purchases on some of the companies who were at this year's inspiring festival.

I bookmarked you under business - what a huge list of interesting companies.

I have a suggested addition. Independent company with environmental focus - at one point they had a ultralight electric car under R and D:

Their very inexpensive, well built shopping trailer has allowed me to shop for 100 lbs of groceries and other goods for the last 3 or 4 years walking or on bike. They also have other trailers.
