With a dedicated local and organic foods movement, ban on plastic bags, and mandatory recycling and composting program, San Francisco tops our list of sustainable spots in America. So it’s especially fitting that the city by the bay is hosting the upcoming Green Festival from November 13th-15th.
If you’re in the SF area this weekend, make it a point to stop check this important (and fun!) event. There’ll be tons of workshops, film screenings, vegetarian food tastings, kids’ activities, live music, and more—all dedicated to promoting a more earth-friendly lifestyle. What’s more, KIWI will be doling out plenty of free magazines plus Fruitabu and Nordic Naturals samples from booth 843, so come say hi!
For more information, check out greenfestivals.org/san-francisco.

Time for a little update from me to you. 
We always have so much fun stuff going on at KIWI, it’s good to give you all the “low down.”
We have updated our contests– you could win a 5-day/4-night trip for a family of four to the Bahamas! (Where do I sign up?!) Just head on over to enter.
Also, we have so many downloadable freebies, just for visiting our site. We have KIWI’s Top 25 Holiday Toys of 2007 (a little late, but always good for birthday gift ideas) and a free activity page and holiday entertaining tips from KIWI, Whole Foods Market and Healthy Child Healthy World. We also have the KIWI Special Report: What Moms Want– The Definitive Me-Time Study; KIWI Green College Report and our ever expanding KiwiKids Activities.
We update our Featured Articles and Recipes regularly. Right now we have two winter themed articles, Baby It’s Cold Outside and Keeping a Lid on Heating Bills. Our featured recipes are Quinoa Chopped Salad and Tofu and Cheese Quesadillas by Chef George Kyrtatas. These won’t be featured for long! We are updating the site soon, so more articles and recipes are coming.
Also, Happy New Year!
Each day in December, I am going to profile a different gift! You excited? Me too! Keep checking back for some great “feels so good to give” gifts.
