MIAMI , Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis , National Spokesperson and Advisory Board Chairman for Energy Edge Technologies Corp (OTC: EEDG), delivered the keynote address to the Washington DC Green Festival on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at the D.C. Convention Center. Dr. Chavis' speech was titled, "Building a Sustainable Green Movement in America."

Throughout the speech, Chavis highlighted his work with Energy Edge Technologies and stated, "I am pleased to be working with Energy Edge Technologies as a prime example of the empowerment benefits of a publicly traded company entering into the energy sector of the American economy with new and innovative technologies that promote green energy solutions to the challenges of the world in which we live. There is no more important issue today than the issue of clean, safe drinking water, not only across the United States but also in Africa and throughout the rest of the world. Our Africa Initiative to produce clean and safe drinking water has begun in the nation of Ghana in West Africa and we expect will soon be in other emerging economies throughout the continent of Africa ."

"I support the building of both grassroots green movements for change while at the same time emphasizing the importance of promoting and growing sustainable entrepreneurial opportunities like EEDG on a global level. You can do well and do good at the same time."
