Brighter Planet, for the second year in a row, will offset whatever energy we use to run Boston GreenFest 2012 that we can not offset ourselves. We will use solar power, pedal power, walking, biking and public transit. Brighter Planet will perform a full audit of our energy use at Boston GreenFest and educate festival goers about the savings.

Mass Energy will match the electricity used to run our Famliy Stage with clean, local wind power. Mass Energy is a non-profit organization that works to make energy more affordable and sustainable. To green your own electricity use, visit www.massenergy.org.
