The World’s Largest Sustainable Living Event Returns to Washington DC and San Francisco
Washington, DC (August 2008) - Returning to Washington DC and San Francisco, Green Festival™, a joint project of Global Exchange and Co-op America, is the largest and most diverse green living event in the country.
Now in its seventh year and in five cities nationwide, Green Festival™ brings together upwards to 175,000 attendees and is the world’s most authentic green living show, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability through extensive event-greening efforts.
At Green Festival™, there’s something for everyone: kid and teen activities, green film festival, live music, 150 speakers and workshops, a green marketplace with more than 350 local and national green businesses, and dozens of community and nonprofit groups.
Have fun, meet like-minded people and change the world! A returning Greenfestival™ volunteer, one of the thousands of dedicated individuals that make the events work, expressed it well when she told us, “There is no better place to meet new friends and be part of producing a nearly zero waste event…this experience has literally changed how I live and the priorities I have now.”

While many events and tradeshows are notoriously wasteful, Green Festival™ demonstrates an unmatched commitment to reducing its footprint. Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and meticulous sorting procedures to reuse, recycle and compost, 97% of all show waste is recovered, translating into only 3% of the waste going into landfills.
