2013 Eco-Village
Celebrate Earth Day in the Atlanta Dogwood Eco-Village! April 19- 21, 2013
The 2013 Eco-Village is going to be amazing! The 77th Atlanta Dogwood Festival is partnering with Live Thrive Atlanta to continue its Award Winning Green Initiative Programs. The Girl Scouts of America and a local boy scout working on his Eagle status will assist with the recycling. All food vendors will use compostable utensils and their cooking oil will be converted into biofuel to run the generators throughout the festival. The Eco- Village will also feature:
• Market Place - filled with sustainable vendor booths all demonstrating how their products are made
• Recycle Education Station - games and educational information
• Atlanta Environmental Nonprofits
This year the Eco-Village will be around the Pavilion and interactive and fun for all ages! Join us for a day of fun and learning!
