Green showcase
Stacy and Kelsey Marshall, owners of Poulsbo-based Grounds for Change, worked their booth at the Green Festival, which was held April 12-13 in Seattle. Grounds for Change is a roaster of Fair Trade, shade-grown, organic coffee.

The Green Festival featured hundreds of vendors and more than 100 speakers whose topics ranged from green kids bedrooms to creating a more sustainable Puget Sound. Organized by Global Exchange and Co-Op America, the festival came to Seattle for the first time — it has been held in the past only in San Francisco and Washington D.C. but has since expanded to Chicago.

Billed as the world’s largest “green living event,” other Kitsap area participants included Bainbridge Graduate Institute and O’Brien & Company Inc. of Bainbridge.
