Congrats guys to a great ICFF. xx jill

Wow- this year’s Greenfest was really rockin’ the casbah this year.  My faves?  Colori eco-paint boutique, Allyu Spa’s on-site treatments, the fun group at Holy Cow! T-shirts, buying Simple shoe’s “Eco-Sneaks” and munching on everything from veggie dogs by The Field Roast Grain Meat Company and vegan cupcakes by Bleeding Heart bakery to the delicious frozen Acai sorbet, a crowd favorite by Sambazon- yummmmm!

I loved this booth pictured below, too: the question they ask is, “What can you do?” The basis is that no one can do everything, but we all can do something.  While “Act Now” may be a bit vague when denoted on a T-shirt, ”Shower Together” seemed a creative, concrete solution. :)
