Sunbeam

The One Gallon ChallengeTM is a "race" to Boston GreenFest to see how long one gallon of gas will last. On display at City Hall Plaza will be a group of cars you've never seen before. Pictured above is a solar and pedal powered vehicle named "Sunbeam" and comes to us from Vermont. more info

Isaac's Truck

Isaac's Moving Company will be at Boston GreenFest 2013 to help the exhibitors move into place.




Pearls Premium    
As green as our lawns seem, they are far from "green". They account for significant amounts of water, energy and chemicals that add toxins to our watershed. Pearl's Premium reduces this considerably. Enjoy a 10% discount when you buy these seeds at the festival.

Mass Energy

Mass Energy will match the electricity used to run our Famliy Stage with clean, local wind power. Mass Energy is a non-profit organization that works to make energy more affordable and sustainable. To green your own electricity use, visit www.massenergy.org.
