I'll be at the annual Earth Fair in Grand Central Terminal. I'll have a table, some books, and a few sharpies, and--perhaps better reason to swing by-- I'll be amidst a truly impressive assortment of friends and folks from all aspects of the green scene. The opening weekend (Friday-Saturday), Earth Fair inhabits Vanderbilt Hall, with over 50 exhibitors, interactive activities, great food, and more. A week later, the party moves outdoors, at 42nd Street & Vanderbilt Avenue. You can come either (or both) Fridays anytime between Noon and 7pm, and Saturdays run from 11am-5pm. Plus, from the 17th to the 23rd, the highly anticipated Giant Earth Images will be projected in GC's main concourse.

A new brand of environmentalism is emerging right here in NYC. This "New Green" aims to pull environmentalism from the fringe to the mainstream, with New York as an innovative and creative epicenter. Young, urban-centric, market-conscious, design-minded, and savvy of popular culture, this movement is fueled considerably by the work of these panelists, who will discuss their individual contributions to the changing face of "green," as well as New York City's vitality and importance at this pivotal moment in environmental history. Josh Dorfman, founder and CEO of Vivavi, Inc., is the host of the radio program "The Lazy Environmentalist." Kelly Cox works in the communications department of the Natural Resource Defense Council. Chris Neidl is the outreach coordinator for Solar One: Renewable Energy, Arts & Education Center. Ben Jervey, moderator, is the author of The Big Green Apple: Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Living in New York City.
