Eric Corey Freed, who will be speaking at the Green Cities Florida Conference in May, interviews some of the biggest names in green building for Natural Home Magazine.

In 2007, Under the Canopy was the recipient of the Natural Product industry’s prestigious “Socially Responsible Business Award”.
The upcoming Green Cities Florida speaker also co-founded a thriving health and environmental educational center, AVEDA spa, national magazine and organic cafe in New York City, known today as “The Institute for Integrative Nutrition”.
