Green Festivals are held across the country to promote eco-friendly and sustainable products. But that’s not all. Green Festivals also feature “green films” and “delicious organic beer, wine and cuisine.” And there’s still more, but you need to go to the Green Festivals web site to find out about it.

Chicago will host its green festival this May, just as the MLA Annual Meeting is getting under way. So on May 17, head on over to Navy Pier to enjoy the Green Festival.
