Living La Vida Verde June 19, 2010

Greenheart proudly announces the second annual eco urbanite celebration, Living La Vida Verde. It is a three- part fiesta celebrating living the green life in Chicago. The event is open to all ages, types of people, and the three venues are centrally located to make it as accessible as possible. The day starts out in nature with a beach clean up. Greenheart’s parent organization, the Center for Cultural Interchange, adopted the beach and it is need of some helping hands! Whoever collects the most trash receives a special prize. An expert in Midwest water issues will also be presenting for the beach clean up crowd. After the beach clean up, the party moves to River North for a series of workshops on topics like local organic Chicago farms, bio diesel, green smoothies, energy efficiency for city living and fair trade. Greenheart is well known for the quality and pertinence of its workshops. Then after the workshop series, the party begins in Wicker Park at the Greenheart Shop. There will be local beer, organic food and a special live cultural performance presented by Greenheart Travel.
