Green Living Festival

The EEA has co-presented the Evanston Green Living Festival since 2007 with the City of Evanston. The festival was created to provide organizations with an opportunity to present products, services, and ideas to attendees seeking to lead a greener life style. 

In 2015, the green fest was integrated for the first time with Streets Alive, Evanston's pro-walk, pro-bike, and pro-place event that draws thousands of attendees each year.  Click HERE to learn more. 

SAGE

SAGE is a school gardening program that was started to promote a healthy future for children by getting them outdoors to plant, harvest and ultimately eat the food that they have grown themselves.
