PSEG GreenFest 2010: A
PlanetHugger Event
The Mission of GreenFest is: Information, Inspiration, Action.
Information will come by way of some of the leading
environmentalists in the country. Charismatic and well known
speakers will bring the inspiration to our attendees. Knowledge and passion alone won’t
save the planet. That requires action. Action is what GreenFest
Exhibitors bring to the event (again, most notably, Hackensack
Riverkeeper! - okay, that's our own quote).
