Green Festival 2013 - Happy earth day!

I was happy to receive my media pass for the 2013 Green Festival held at the Javits convention center this weekend. Before i attended, i stopped by Union Square to exchange an empty bottle of shampoo for a bottle of Whole Foods brand shampoo; citrus grapefruit in celebration of Earth Day 2013. I got delicious biscuits as well. After that, off i went to the Javits where i spent the day learning about sustainability and the environment. I first picked up my media pass at the media center where the media woman asked me what my press organization was and i responded with: Pinkgrapefruit; it's my blog. She said: " i saw it". I thought that was amusing. They saw it! It was a very crowded room with several hundred kiosks. I first hit a snack booth, Kit's organic, where i sampled 6 different types of fruit and nut bar (gluten, soy and dairy free - for people with allergies). They were good. Next, the Nature Conservancy. According to the volunteer, they are in 35 countries and 50 states and they protect land and water. They had a nifty temporary tattoo with the word EARTH which i am wearing on my hand right now. Then, i noticed a poster where people could write on and answer the question: How are you green? ....
