Planet Forward On Scene And Living Green At Local Festivals
Posted by: | Comments
This past week Planet Forward was on scene as an exhibitor at the Live Green Toronto Festival. The event was organized by the City of Toronto which showcased hundreds of green products and services ranging from reusable bottles to renewable energy.
The weather was on our side as thousands showed up in their quest toward a greener lifestyle. The festival was in the heart of Toronto at Yonge and Dundas Square. They actually shut down Yonge Street! Yonge Street became “green” street as Mayor Miller welcomed visitors. There was awesome live music, earth-friendly kids’ activities, and tons of organic foods to sample as you walked down Yonge Street to shop eco-friendly products or learn more about living green. The festival was free for anyone in attendance.
The Planet Forward booth was located right on Yonge Street and our eco-neighbors were Arthur’s Juice and Raindance Cosmetics. Other exhibitors included the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Livclean carbon offset solutions, NOW magazine, The Zero Point, Toronto Water, Bullfrog Power, Zip Car and many more.

Last Saturday on August 22nd, 2009, Planet Forward sponsored the Annual Midsummer Night’s Run which is organized in support of the Department of Rheumatology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
Planet Forward was thrilled to participate as a Sponsor by providing sustainable stainless steel bottles to each of the participants that finished either the 30 k or the 15 k route. Stainless steel bottles filled with cold water were handed out as participants crossed the finish line, along with a medal of achievement. Other sponsors of the event included New Balance and Nicholas Hoare.
Features of the event included the Steamwhistle Midsummer Beer Garden, a B.B.Q. by Dangerous Dan’s, a DJ and a winner’s ceremony.
Most notable, however, was the good spirit and positive energy that was brought in by all of the volunteers and participants. Many dressed in twigs, blossoms, ribbons and bows, and posed to have their picture taken at the costume corner, qualifying them for the costume contest.
The event was a great success and the Planet Forward Team was thrilled to donate their stainless steel bottles to help raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children.
We would like to thank everyone for their emails and kind words. We will be appearing next at the Live Green Toronto Festival on Sunday August 30th as an exhibitor and the Earth Matters Showcase on September 9th, 2009 at Sunnybrook’s Health Sciences Centre and at the Conscious Food Festival at Toronto’s Historic Fort York on September 26th & 27th. We hope to see you there.
