Join us for the fourth bienniel NY Green Fest: The Politics of Sustainability - Forums, Workshops, Green Fair.
The most difficult questions of sustainability are not about technology; they are about implementing our values. Implementation may be assisted by the development of new technology or by the use of old technology, but it is achieved in the political arena. At NY Green Fest we explore the politics that will enable us to live in a sustainable world.
For NY Green Fest 2011, we return to the beautiful campus of Alfred University in Alfred, NY. We are joined by Greens from across the country and Canada coming to the 2011 Green Annual National Meeting (ANM), which is being held in conjunction with Green Fest this year.
Our program features two intertwined series of workshops on the political challenges we face in replacing fossil fuels and nuclear power with reduced energy usage and alternative energy sources, and in replacing war with peace.
Registration for the weekend is $45, $20 teen/youth, children under 12 free. There is no extra charge for exhibiting. Dorm rooms, camping and the Saxon Inn are available for lodging on campus at reasonable cost. Local campgrounds and bed and breakfasts are also available. Meals prepared from locally-grown food will be served at the Alfred University dining hall beginning Thursday evening, Aug. 4.

We welcome participation in Green Fest 2011 as a panelist, musician or workshop presenter. Our panels, performances and workshops enable the Green community to grow and pass on vital knowledge and skills. Musicians will perform throughout the weekend on our solar stage.
