The Green Festival, which was held in Seattle in April, had 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. The Green Festival is billed as the world’s largest “green living event.” Some other Kitsap area participants included Bainbridge Graduate Institute and O’Brien & Company Inc. of Bainbridge Island.
