If you're in the Los Angeles area and looking for something to do tomorrow, why don't you consider visiting the WorldFest in Woodley Park in Encino. According to their website, "WorldFest is a solar-powered celebration of music, the environment, animals, and humanity. We're helping people learn what they can do for the Earth and its inhabitants."
The festival is Saturday, May 10th, 2008 from 10AM - 6:30PM at Woodley Park in Encino, CA (Map).
Admission: $7 / Seniors $5 / Kids under 12 - Free! / Pets Welcome
One of guest speakers will be Gene Baur, author of Farm Sanctuary
, another will be Rory Freedman, co-author of the hugely popular Skinny Bitch
, there will also be representatives from the Humane Society and other animal and environmental protection groups. Looking through the activities scheduled, it certainly seems like there will be something there for everyone --from music, to meditation, to lectures on composting and "vegan green," and talks on health and nutrition, and animal welfare.
– We’re getting ready to close down our petition to Oprah, asking her to do a piece on factory farming. If you haven’t already signed, please consider doing so. We can all work together to make a difference.
