festival verde

We just got back from the Green Festival in DC. As with other years there was lots of hemp clothing, organic fair trade chocolate, and organizations for the protection of animals, green snake oil salesman, etc. The things that interest me most are the solar installers and green builders. The people that installed our solar panels were there. I spent some time learning more about geothermal heating and cooling, it would be cool to have but it is very expensive and might be hard to install in our location. We also went to a talk on vermiculture (Worm composting), something I've also been interesting in doing. The place was packed, so I guess that is a good thing, people are more interested in all things green these days.
