Greenfest is Australia’s largest free green festival with 5 stages of music, 200 exhibitors and 60 000 visitors in 2009. It was designed by Colman to support cultural shifts towards cooler consumer, production and government decision making. Colman personally believes a cooler future is about linking personal care to global outcomes through personal, community and economic health.
