- I'm going to recommend AGI to the members of our "Green Task Force" and hope it spreads out across campus. I may actually require participation of my Environmental Conservation class!

She has just moved back to FW from Boulder, CO where she was in charge of the county fair being 0% waste! I will make sure she joins and gets back to you on the green festival question!

I would like to see HEC's orgaizational documents and cornerstones listed provided. At minimum its by-laws and mission statement, vision, and purposes.
A detailed history of the organization and its successes and hardships would draw much attention and support.
Also listing its current staff/positions and board members as well as its current programs and activities. Maybe archive your volunteer forms and etc and link them on the group.

Comment by Marianne Peters on October 5, 2008 at 7:57am - Hi! I'm writing an article for Indiana Living Green magazine on Hoosier festivals--how they are reducing their environmental footprint. My own town has the Blueberry Festival, which attempted to go green this past summer, but didn't have a dedicated "green team" to handle the details. I've been asked to chair that committee (gulp!), but I'm excited by the prospects of reducing waste and educating the public. I'd love to talk to people who have any green-festival experience!
