As promised, the weekend green update. I'm working on a calendar for us, so the blog can focus on commentary.
Sadly, there isn't too much going on this weekend aside from some opportunities to purchase locally grown food and other products. I suggest heading over to the Georgia Organics or Local Harvest websites (thanks, Reg!) to find other farmer's markets in your area.
*Remember to watch out when buying tomatoes, even from farmer's markets. Question the seller about his or her sources. Just because you're buying your food from a stall doesn't mean it doesn't come from a suspect source. (See here for, rather illogically, a list of states NOT associated with the outbreak.)
Saturday, June 14th
Green Market @ Piedmont Park - Farmers and local artisans share their wares near the 12th Street entrance of Piedmont Park. The event goes on every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through December 13th. Piedmont Ave. NE and 12th St. NE. Plan your route using transit.
Downtown Decatur Market - Running every weekend through November, the Downtown Decatur Market is a festival featuring local products, artists, food, and handicrafts. 777 Commerce St., Decatur, GA 30030. Plan your route using transit.
Kids FUNFEST - The Marietta based Children's Wellness Network is kicking off by hosting a family-oriented even dedicated to the four aspects of child wellness: Mind, Body, Spirit, and Soul. But if that sounds too New-Agey for you, (or if like me, you don't have any rugrats to use as an excuse to attend all this fun stuff) , they will also be showing Two Angry Moms, a documentary about mother's fighting for healthier school lunches. There will also be animals, more local products and food to buy, and other good green fun. Tickets are $10 for adults and free the kidlets. 12pm to 6pm at 1815 Ponce de Leon Ave. N.E., Atlanta, GA 30307. Plan your route using transit.
So where are all the eco-events this weekend, anyway? Does it seem to anybody else like everything in this town happens on Thursday nights? What's up with that, anyway?
Also, check back soon to find out how you can win $25,000 to fund a community project.

The states not involved are much more interested in being known than the states that are involved are in being associated with this. I'm not surprised by the reverse list.
