The ReDirect Guide Green Sprouts Festival is coming to Portland, Oregon soon and it should be an action packed eco-event for the whole darn family. If you live in Oregon or Washington, you’ll want to consider attending. I’m going for sure because I love hearing about new green gear and services. Plus it should be some super cool fun for my son Cedar.
