this... But go on the 7th, since I know you'll be at Riverdale Park
Day which is on the 6th!

DC GREEN FESTIVAL
Washington DC Convention Center
SAT & SUN, OCT. 6-7
$15.00

You want to be green, but you have questions.

Does buying Fair Trade really make a difference? Can my mutual fund
provide for more than just my future? How can I tell if a company is
honestly green? Can I buy green products at the Green Festival?

At Green Festival you'll find real answers...

Join DC's own Wendy Rieger from NBC News4 and Timberly Whitfield from
Hallmark Channel's New Morning Show to get the scoop on media's impact
on the green movement.

Interested in the latest trends in socially responsible investing (SRI)?
Bennett Freeman from Calvert Investments, as well as experts from Co-op
America, Institutional Shareholder Services, City First Bank of DC and
Washington Community Investment Foundation, will steer you in the right
direction. Or visit the SRI Pavilion anytime during the show!

Stop by the Fair Trade Pavilion to kick-off Fair Trade month, and find
out why Fair Trade coffee, chocolate and bananas are all the rage. Enjoy
the free tastings.
