My first eco-fest


Last Sunday, I attended my first eco-fest to promote my new environmentally-friendly party planning business, http://www.chicagogreenlife.com/. Despite the day's high temp of 1 degree (no global warming this snowy, cold, icy month), many hearty souls stopped by the free festival, sponsored by local religious organizations and held at Temple Beth Emmett, here in Evanston. Well-known businesses and non-profits, such as I-Go Cars and the Evanston Ecology Center had representatives along with local vegan restaurants, fair-trade goods stores and green architects. I even got a little help promoting my business from my daughter.
