On May 21 and 22 Project of Green America and Global Exchange will host theSeattle Green Festival at Qwest Field Event Center. The Green Festival is an excellent event to attend if you and your family are trying to live a more “green” lifestyle. The Green Festival aims to teach people about the most authentic environmental and socially responsible way to live.

Founded in 1982, Green America is committed to creating economic power while striving for a socially just and environmentally sustainable society. Global Exchange is a 22-year old international organization that focuses on social, economic, and environmental justice, with a strong awareness for human rights. When these two organizations team up for Green Festival, you better be prepared for a rocking green and sustainable weekend!”

“Red, white, or green? You can go for all three, at least at this weekend’s celebration of all things sustainable. Jon Frey’sbiodynamic vineyard will be pouring away — alongside 190 other exhibitors — at Sat/9-Sun/10′s Green Festival.
If the extensive alphabetical list of vendors gives an apt portrayal of Green Fest’s floorplan, Frey will shack up alongside From War to Peace, a husband-wife jewelry team that creates fashion from dismantled nuclear missile systems. One booth over, Frontier Angel Soap will leave passer-bys sweet-smelling and squeaky clean. Displays of sustainable goodies in other aisles of the Concourse Exhibition Center? Eco-friendly river rafting, passively-powered thermal art, and rolfing, a holistic system of soft tissue massage created by Dr. Ida Rolf.”

Ben Bradley didn’t play with regular toys growing up.
He would just take them apart and put them back together.
“My parents finally realized they should not buy me typical toys, and started getting me radio kits and stuff like that,” said the Arkansas native.
After he bought his first house in 2007, his old habits kicked in, and he began to take it apart.
Now that he has stripped it down to the bare bones, Bradley plans to put it back together keeping one goal in mind: to be as green as possible.
“I’m going to do what I can to the best of my ability. As a homeowner, unless you have a lot of money, it’s hard,” he said.
Not wanting to attempt such a major endeavor blindly, the local courier has done his research.
The same year he bought his house, he traveled to Global Exchange’s and Co-Op America’s Green Festival in Chicago to soak up some information.
“I was completely mentally exhausted. I was there until they pushed me out of the building,” said Bradley, 39. “It was really liberating. All of a sudden I had more information than I even knew what to do with. It was like being drunk on information. It was like all of a sudden, this was possible.”
