What are you doing this weekend? I hope it's going to the Green Festival at Navy Pier! The festivities, which will be going on from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, are a great chance to get out and see and hear about what's new (or at least new to you) in the green world.

In addition to 150 speakers, the festival is host to workshops, kids' activities, lots of samples, music and organic food, beer and wine.

It's also a great place to check out green businesses that might have products you're interested in. Last year, I found a CSA for a friend, as well as some products I now love.

Plus, it's only $10 to get in--if you ride your bike, the bus, you're a senior or a student. Otherwise it's $15. Kids under 18 get in for free.
