Boston EcoFest & EcoFashion Show August 2010

September 10, 2010 by Beth Fiteni

Hundreds of Bostonites came out for this year’s Ecofest on August 20-21, to view alternative fuel vehicles, see an ecclectic host of multi-culture performers, and meet local nonprofits and renewable energy vendors. Set in front of city hall and under sunny skies, it was also a great place to sample healthy food from Boston’s finest vegetarian restaurants.


The festival featured a full ecofashion tent, under which one could find organic cotton dresses from Nancy’s Gone Green, jute handbags at EarthFrendz, naturally dyed silk scarves by Rhonda Fazio (Ecofashion tent and show coordinator), and hemp shoes from the Hempest.com. Many of the vendors from the ecofashion tent displayed their wares during a main-stage ecofashion show. The show also included other designers including Ball and Buck, which caters to a more conservative, “preppy” style, and Banshii, which offers soft, feminine and earthy dresses.

It was interesting to walk around Boston’s downtown and see the numerous historical sites of such significance to American history, side by side with this Ecofest, highlighting the products, technologies, and ingenuity that will lead us to America’s future. Congratulations to Foundation for a Green Future for organizing this educational, and forward-thinking event.

Veggie Pride Parade

May 30, 2010 by Beth Fiteni

One of the more fun things we get to do as vegetarians is march down a city street in NYC in May and declare our veggie-ness at the Veggie Pride Parade. The march culminated in exhibits and speeches in Union Square where activists shared information with passers-by. Congratulations to Pamela Rice of Viva-Vegie Society for this successful event.

Proudly Vegetarian for 20 Years! Woohoo!

Thanksgiving

November 13, 2009 by Beth Fiteni

As many of us try to reduce our impact on the earth and live our lives in accordance with our awareness, I’m hoping that more and more people will consider a healthy, vegetarian, turkey-free Thanksgiving.

For the reasons why see gentlethanksgiving.org.

Also see my recent op-ed in Newsday:

And on an unrelated note: Right before Thanksgiving, I got to meet James Hansen, top  Climate Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies! He is truly a history-making figure, and I was beynd honored to meet him. His newest book, “Storms of my Grandchildren” is alarming and poignant. Anyone who wants education on climate change should consider it a must-read.
