White Lotus Home, a domestic manufacturer, retailer and distributor of hand–crafted natural and organic mattresses, pillows, bedding and hardwood furniture, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a three–day Earth Weekend festival.
The event will draw attention to the importance of caring for the planet and being environmentally responsible, said the Highland Park, N.J.–based company.
The festival kicks off April 8 with an event called Earth Hands: Highland Park. Hundreds of community members will be recruited to form a human chain through Highland Park and share an eco–conscious message.
The next day the public is invited to a daylong “green” products expo at the company’s Highland Park facility and store.
Consumer advocate and author Debra Lynn Dadd, whom The New York Times once described as “the Queen of Green,” will deliver a keynote address. There will be tastings of organic food and wine and displays of organic products, as well as educational sessions, crafts and a petting zoo.
On April 10, the company will host an art exhibit with organic–themed artwork available for sale from various local artists.
“For the past 30 years, White Lotus Home has provided natural and organic bedding and home furnishing products, which have helped ‘change the world while you sleep’, ” said Marlon Pando, White Lotus Home owner and president. “Our goal during the anniversary celebration is to inspire awareness and appreciation for the earth’s natural environment—a major principle that White Lotus Home has practiced since its formation.”
