At tonight’s Green Inaugural Ball, environmentalists, celebrities, elected officials and “green” citizens will make their wishes known as they celebrate not only Barack Obama’s re-election but their hopes for the planet during his next four years.

To be held at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., the Ball will offer a perfect example of how to throw an eco-friendly party. Guests — who are being encouraged to arrive via mass transportation, of course — will dine on organic, locally grown food, including vegetable sushi rolls, butternut squash shooters, and a variety of other vegan and vegetarian offerings. Personally, I’m looking forward to sipping the “OM-bama” cocktail that’s been created for the evening (the OM stands for Organic Mixology — whatever that is.). There’ll be plenty of entertainment, too, from the likes of Grammy award winners will.i.am and Paul Winter, New Orleans master trombonist Trombone Shorty, Rock & Roll cover band Camp Freddy, and many more.

Wish you could be at the ball but can’t? You can follow it all on Twitter, at #GreenBall2013. And don’t forget to tweet your wish, using #greenwish. National Wildlife Federation, whose guest I will be at the ball, will be showcasing the green wishes all around the Newseum. Make one wish, or a dozen. There’s no limit on what you can wish for!
