What It Is

Second annual, all-day event featuring presentations and panel discussions about the nature of sustainability and what the New Orleans community can do to survive. Music, food, how-to presentations and great information.

Why It Matters

”Sustainability” and “Green” have become buzzwords for environmentally friendly practices, but the terminology’s meanings are often lost in vague or overwrought descriptions that overwhelm the average person.

Cut through the murkiness, come discuss how environmental issues affect us and the changes each person can make—reduce waste, build smarter—have a good time!
