Green Fest Expo Palo Alto August 30 at Mitchell Park

What does it take to reduce your impact on the earth every day? Not much, according to Project Enybody, a youth leadership group made up of students from Gunn and Paly High Schools. Even small steps such as biking to work or packing a waste-free lunch can add up to big changes for Palo Alto and beyond.

Project Enybody is organizing a community event on August 30th called Green Fest Palo Alto to spread the word about how to reduce, reuse and recycle in everyday life. Green Fest Palo Alto will have information and ideas about make better choices for the planet from vendors, nonprofits and more. Plus there will be games and prizes, food, music and more for kids and families of all ages.
