BioFestival 2004

Peer comment(s):
neutral NGK : Well, assuming it should be translated at all, I'm not sure that "bio" conveys the same message in English as it does in German. Bio in the link refers to biotechnology; in German it usually means environmentally friendly, organic, "non-chemical" etc.

GREENFEST 2004
