Healthy & Green Expo 2009 is THE place to be to celebrate the beauty of Michigan’s fall colors…including GREEN!

As a strong supporter of the Green/Sustainable Movement, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to try and find green events available to the public. Even with that great tool we call the Internet, finding Sustainable expos, shows, and festivals is about as hard as finding a sustainable oil refinery. Well, to my rescue came Twitter. Not only is Twitter possibly the greatest social network on the web, it is stuffed full of every type of event, show, or expo you could imagine. This includes the Green Movement! So, I took time to compile a list of what I humbly consider the “Top 10 Best Green Events on Twitter”.

If I’ve left you off the list, please PLEASE leave a link to your Twitter account in the comment section and add your event to our Event Calendar. Thank you!
