Green Fest in Elmhurst

The second annual Green Fest will be held Saturday, August 1, 2009.

The goal of Green Fest is to educate our community on ways individuals can reduce their CO² footprint through fun, hands-on exhibits, interesting speakers, and the introduction of eco-friendly products and services.

Here's what the Illinois Constitution says about the environment:

SECTION 1. PUBLIC POLICY - LEGISLATIVE RESPONSIBILITY The public policy of the State and the duty of each person is to provide and maintain a healthful environment for the benefit of this and future generations. The General Assembly shall provide by law for the implementation and enforcement of this public policy.

SECTION 2. RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS Each person has the right to a healthful environment. Each person may enforce this right against any party, governmental or private, through appropriate legal proceedings subject to reasonable limitation and regulation as the General Assembly may provide by law.
