Catch the Green Apple Festival Action in the TreeHugger Video Archive

In the lead-up to Earth Day, the Green Apple Festival mobilized volunteers in 10 cities around the country and rewarded them with free thank you concerts afterward. Lots of people got involved and the days of action across the country were a huge success. TreeHugger was there to document the activities in each city. Catch up on the action in the TreeHugger video archive from the event.
