The Eco Lounge is a new feature of Celebration Weekend that will be outfitted with eco-friendly furnishings and will be staffed by our editors along with local and national experts, invited by Sunset. Our goal over the weekend is to inspire and motivate our readers to live the healthiest lives possible–which includes making choices that are good for the environment. All of our event attendees will have a chance to learn about sustainable food choices, stress-relieving stretches, innovative green ideas and easy steps to eco-friendly living.
