Last Saturday, May 27th, was the 13th annual WBOS 92.9 EarthFest, the biggest free radio station concert in the country, at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade, along the Charles River in Boston. Tons of people came to the event and it was nothing short of another great
EarthFest success. Over 100,000 people showed up from noon to 6 pm to this family-friendly event for free music, food, clothing, and other gear. Sponsored by
Whole Foods Market, among others, EarthFest 2006 had these artists on the main stage: Los Lonely Boys, James Blunt, Brandi Carlile, The Fray and The Alternate Routes. Throughout the area were eco tips posted up on living a greener lifestyle and providing useful information on green
shopping at Whole Foods Market. There were nearly 100 tents/booths offering food sampling, exhibits, and educational displays staffed by event sponsors and local non-profit and environmental organizations, including the
Charles River Watershed Association,
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection,
Project Joy,
Greyhound Friends,
Sierra Club, and
Amnesty International to promote a
healthy and Earth-friendly outlook! One of your fellow NNHS Enviro Club members, Jonathan Berman, was working at the
Penta Water booth with his sister, providing free sample bottles of the water. Penta Water isn't just any bottled water, it is hundreds of times cleaner than many of the bottles spring waters. Penta water goes through an 11-hour, 13-step purification process, leaving it to be the cleanest-known bottled water. Jonathan gave me a bottle and it tasted great! It tasted like water- and
only water! Here's what he had to say about EarthFest-
EarthFest was really great. Several organizations had booths to promote organic and sustainable foods and other earth-friendly products (the food was great). There was also a row of environmentally friendly movements that handed out notices, buttons, stickers, massive balloons, etc. There was information on renewable energy and it's importance with solar cells, and a wind turbine set up on the back of a truck. There was also a car there that ran on food oils. Staffing one of the booths at EarthFest was an eye-opening experience, seeing all of these local organizations in one place working to influence the community. There were so many people watching the show and checking out all the booths and everyone was having a good time.

I hope all of you who went to EarthFest '06 had a great time and that everyone will make it to EarthFest next year!
