The Red, White, and Green

The producer of the Erewhon Expo was kind enough to offer a response to my earlier post regarding the not-so-green promotion (flyers littered all over the neighborhood) of what was supposed to be a green event, although he didn’t really offer an excuse other than that in his opinion, the end justified the means. 

I am sorry about the flyers, but we had to bring lots [of] people to our [event and our] green and healthy living message to lots [of] people. Also, this event created more then 150 jobs, and we educated lots [of] people about green [living] and health. You can’t judge an event from the flyer. If you came to the show, you [would] be very happy and proud that we did something for the community. Next time I do this event, I will ask for your help and ideas so we can create something more green.

Happy to help, Erewhon.

p.s. An RWG reader just emailed me this photo, and I couldn’t resist publishing it. He took the pic at the corner of Melrose and Alta Vista, a full two miles from my neighborhood (looks like we weren’t the only ones graced with Erewhon’s garbage). Note that it’s now been four days since the expo. Any more photos, RWG readers? Send ‘em my way!
