Mightybytes recently sponsored the Andersonville Farmer’s Market during Green Week on July 13th with an eco-friendly photo booth that didn't use any paper and didn't break the bank either. Here's how we did it.

The market team gave us room for a fancy banner, but not being a seller of produce or creator of fine quality baked goods, we struggled with the best way to represent ourselves amongst the asparagus and cheese curds. Sure, we’re a green company and all, but what, really, does a digital media firm have to offer market customers?

We thought about giving away free web audits, but that’s lame.  Like super lame. Then we considered creating a game show called ‘Let Me Google That For You’, but weren’t sure we could sustain that across five hours of open market time (and some people might not find it very funny). We tossed around a few other ideas as well, but none really seemed to stick until Bryan came up with the brilliant idea to build a photo booth. “And of course it would have to be a green photo booth,” he said, to which we naturally all agreed. So it was decided.

‘Industrial agriculture as it exists today is a ticking time bomb that has placed human and environmental health in great jeopardy. The sustainable food movement is transforming both public opinion and the food industry.'

As part of  Andersonville Green Week, Free from Harm, an educational and advocacy resource, is staging a multimedia event: Highlights of Sustainable Agriculture in the Media and Film—a montage of footage ‘from some of the leading films and non profits of our time, including Dirt The Movie, Fresh The Movie, Farm Sanctuary, celebrated authors Michael Pollan and David Kirby, as well as Wes Jackson, founder of The Land Institute, to name a few.’

Do you know what ‘fracking’ is and how it affects our air and drinking water? It’s time you do.

Mightybytes is proud to co-sponsor the Chicago theatrical premiere screening of GASLAND: A Film by Josh Fox, along with Andersonville Green Week, and the Peace on Earth Film Festival.

Presented by Chicago Filmmakers, GASLAND is a Special Jury Prize Winner - Sundance Film Festival 2010.
