The First Annual BuFest started off a little rocky but ended with a giant cheers. Vendors showed up to the beautiful Malibu Canyon from all over the United States. Organic clothing companies, green superstores, solar panel companies, alternative energy booths, organic beer and food trucks, shirts made from recycled plastic bottles, eco-friendly cleansers and so much more!
The vibe was amazing; everyone there all shared a common goal, to spread the awareness of being green. The food vendors served food in biocompostable containers made from corn, the utensils were made from corn, all the food was organic and taste delicious!
BuFest had a WIDE range of vendors present. There was a lot of clothing vendors, all featured something organic about them. Some used soy and organic cotton like Thin Logic, others made clothing from 50% recycled plastic bottles like kikaPaprika. There was all natural cosmetic care lines such as Nava Natural Sparkle, alternative energy booths featuring solar power, wind power and electric bicycles! Even a green superstore vendor, The Ultimate Green Store, was present that told me most of the companies they sell on their site where present at the festival. It was a green enthusiast play ground.
One company that I loved and am pretty sure I will purchase their product soon was the Nada Chair, a strap that goes around your lower back and over knees helps align your back giving you good posture. I found it to be a great thing to use to help you meditate and even the salesman told me that is what it was mainly made for!
I found it kind of ironic that they gave away plastic water bottles but then again tons of recycling bins where placed around so people wouldn't waste the bottles.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with the politics that went into making that festival happen but hopefully if there is a 2nd year, they will have gotten their things in order and put on another fun, green festival that everyone will enjoy!
