Boston GreenFest is organized by the Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. and is an entertaining education festival celebrating the many ways we can create a better world by greening our neighborhoods, our communities and the entire Greater Boston area. It engages the participants, young and old, in a search for new ideas and approaches to reduce our impact on our planet. The festivities will include "Project Recycle Runway", a walk through the Time Tunnel, live multicultural performances, music, theatre, dance, lots more entertainment, food, and fun activities for children. Festival-goers learn what it means to eat and grow local organic food, improve nutrition and healthcare, green our city, build healthy communities, take political action, create green jobs and a green economy.

Big Green Bus

The Big Green Bus will be at GreenFest 2009! It is a group of 15 Dartmouth students on the ultimate 10-week cross-country journey. Our mission: to educate the American public about environmental responsibility and alternative energy. Our vehicle: a bus fueled by waste vegetable oil. Targeting the American consumer, we utilize the presence of our high impact bus, multiple media outlets and individual conversations to encourage millions to become more environmentally responsible at home, at work and in the voting booth.

The Foundation
Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring a green future for our planet and is proud to be hosting this event. We must teach, support and model sustainable ways to ourselves and our children. Green roofs are an important part of the solution along with much more. This festival will go beyond our roofs.

Brighter Planet will be responsible for offsetting all of the carbon emisisons we incur in running our event and that we are unable to offset ourselves through solar power, pedal power, walking, biking and public transit, as well as using local talent and services. Brighter Planet will perform a full audit of our energy use at Boston GreenFest and educate festival goers about the savings.

Bring your own reuseable water bottle to GreenFest. To help raise awareness about the wastefulness of plastic water bottles, GreenFest will provide free drinking water to those who bring their own water bottle. Water will cost $1 for those who don't bring a water bottle.
