That’s me (just a few hours ago) standing under the Stand sign at Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland where Keen Footwear was celebrating its Stand Environmental Contest. Good for Keen putting up $75,000 for this contest and now putting on this part to promote the cause of sustainability at this festival.

I took the opportunity to interview different people for PPnG’s Green Streets which I will post here shortly. It’s always interesting to meet new people and learn about the different ways each one of us practices sustainable living. There are many similarities and yet many new surprises that come up and always something new to learn. And remember, if you’re interested in joining our Green Streets Team open to anyone, anywhere, simply send us e-mail at greenstreets@planetpinkngreen.com and let us know.

This was a fabulous booth offering ways to make your own cork board. Very eco-cute. Cork happens to be one of my favorite green designer resources. There are so many great uses for cork including flooring, inspiration boards, wall tiles, and my favorite right now; on the outside of refrigerator doors.

Another Keen contest called, “What’s your environmental confession?”

That’s me, Spencer Brown of Earth Friendly Moving Boxes and my dear friend and owner of Zot Baking Co., Linda Scarlett getting goofy in Mexican wrestling masks. Just say no to global warming.
