Green Festival in D.C. this weekend

Global Exchange and Green America's Green Festival will take place Oct. 10-11 at the Washington Convention Center. Organizers promise 125 speakers and 350 exhibitors as well as films and workshops. Scanning the schedule, I spotted a few Baltimore area companies, including alterego, which offers sustainable building materials, and chocolaterra, which uses organic ingredients and fair-trade certified chocolate.

I'm looking forward to Ed Begley Jr.'s presentation, "Live Simply So Others Can Simply Live" and workshops on indoor composting, greening your home on a budget and making beauty products from items in your refrigerator.

Is anyone planning on going?

This weekend is also the Solar Decathalon! My friends and I will all be down in the district for the two events, and I can't wait. As much as I love Baltimore, getting everybody down to DC is always a fun time, theres so much to do there, and the Metro makes everything easier.

About the bloggers

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
