On September 5th 2008, Edmond, Oklahoma will have its first green festival starting at 6:00pm. The festival will continue on Saturday at 2:00 pm and Sunday at 2:00 pm at Stephenson Park.
Just three months ago, the Getting Green not-for-profit organization was founded by Mark Neighbors. The Getting Green organization was established to encourage all Americans to be more environmentally friendly. Getting Green, will show everyone how to live ten to twenty percent more green.
Many people across the Nation have already taken small steps, sometimes huge steps, to become more environmentally friendly. But there are still many who think that going green will affect their lifestyle too much. And, that is why Getting Green was so important to Mark Neighbors. He is ready and willing to show everyone that getting green will not change your lifestyle.
The festival will include learning opportunities and entertainment. There will be a new speaker every hour giving you steps and ideas to get green, along with twelve bands for your listening pleasure. Guest speakers topics will include eco-friendly practices for businesses, green architecture and wind power benefits. There will be exhibitors and sponsors with tables set up to show, hands on, how to get green.
Edmond Electric will be providing power for the event by using wind energy during the day and solar energy at night.
Everyone can do simple things to go green, such as printing on the back side of your printer paper, turning off appliances or electronics when not in use, and recycling.
There are green home builders in Edmond, Oklahoma, ready to build your dream home.
