Hey guys I just bought tickets to a green concert festival in New Jersey, and I was wondering what are some other notible green events out there that you guys like?

There are a bunch of festivals, tours, events, etc that are going green. There is actually a Greeniacs article discussing this trend (mostly in in San Francisco):

I am looking forward to the Outside Lands Music Festival in SF. I also hear that many sporting events/arenas are now going green!

Good news.

I'm attending the All Points West Festival in NJ on Day 3, to see Jack Johnson, who is also a big supporter of a Greener Environment.

I decided to support this festival for more reasons than one:

Not only does a portion of the ticket sales go to the Friends of Liberty State Park organization, but the festival is being created in a “green” festival environment. Initial “green” plans include on-site parking for carpoolers only and ample public transportation to and from the site. Ferry service will be available from Manhattan directly to the festival grounds; exact details with ferry schedules will be announced at a later date. Additionally, light rail service via NJ Transit will run directly to the festival grounds. Meanwhile, a limited supply of on-site parking is reserved exclusively for carpoolers. Carpool parking passes are available either as single days for Saturday and Sunday or as a three-day pass for the weekend.

The festival’s name is inspired by the area’s rich history, particularly Ellis Island and the NJ Central Railroad terminal located on the festival site, where many arriving immigrants boarded trains for ALL POINTS WEST.

With all the history and the many efforts to be Green, I suggust any music or festival fan check out this one. Tickets are still available.

Let's support the GREEN!!

In terms of green charities, there is this great website that can help you find one that will suit you. It's called "Charity Navigator." If you're interested, you can also find other interesting charities that do not directly relate to the environment. Overall, a good resource.

I'm thinking of making donations to different organizations this year in honor of friends and family, rather than giving holiday presents. It just makes sense to help the environment and other worthy causes, rather than throwing yet another trash bag full of used wrapping paper into nature.
