The San Francisco Green Fest
Posted by admin on 11.18.2007 at 10:28 am
Last weekend Better World Books attended the Green Fest in San Francisco to promote BetterWorld.com. What an incredible event! Over the course of three days, we spoke with thousands of people, ran a very successful book drive, and learned a good deal about other green initiatives happening throughout the world. All in all, the event was a great success, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!

The man above was one of the flashier participants at the Fest. He single-handedly ran his own awareness campaign about plastic, and came dressed in 700 plastic grocery bags (the amount of bags the average person throws away in a year) in order to effectively demonstrate how much waste our lives contribute to the environment. Makes you want to buy reusable grocery bags, right?!
