Pasadena Neighborhood Green Fair

Pasadena celebrated a very "Green" Halloween this past Saturday. Sponsored by Neighborhood Church right next door to the wonderful Gamble House. I was very happy to be a part of such a great event as I met a great deal of dedicated and wonderful people.

There was a number of great green vendors and non-profits participating. For a list of contacts, you can visit the Green Fair website:

One of my favorite green shops was in attendance: Organic Rush in South Pasadena - they have great green items for your home and body. Check out their site http://www.organicrush.com/

I also want to promote an important upcoming event in Pasadena: the General Plan Open House. Here is an opportunity for residents to participate in the future design of the city by providing feedback and sharing your issues and thoughts as well as enjoy live entertainment, raffles and more activities. Saturday, November 14, 1pm - 5pm
at 345 N Lake Ave and the North Courtyard of Macy's & the shops. I'll be there!

We also raffled off a free Green Home Makeover and are pleased to announce that the winner is Gillian S. Congratulations!

Lastly, I just had to post the photo of the best "green" costume at the Fair. A costume created by all the plastic bags collected through normal shopping activities in one year and made into a very heavy and shockingly large outfit. Not my idea of green couture. Remember small changes make big differences. Be well!
