Beautiful weather, mucho sunlight, and mucho things to do. Earth week is also coming to an end but there are still events going around town you should go to. Yet aren’t you all sad how the weekend is almost over and the weather turned around and the storm is nearing? boo…..but hey here are some things you can do to make yourself feel better during the week!


LAST HURRAH

Earth Weekend is almost over. BUT you still have a couple of hours to go to the Green Festival. I had many of my friends go to the Festival yesterday when it opened and now I’m excited to go myself before it all comes to an end this afternoon. “Eco-friendly” is all too familiar with us but along with start ups and interesting products at the Festival, it’s more than a convention to spread awareness but to celebrate how people are actually doing things to protect our Earth and the environment.

WHAT: GREEN FESTIVAL

WHERE: Jacob K. Javits Convention Center

WHEN: Today until 6pm

Ramona Gonzales’s voice along with the electro-funk music in the back may be your weekday fix to get through the rest of the week.
