GREEN EVENT IN LA!

Go Green Expo  held it’s premiere event in New York City in April of 2008.  There were over 250 exhibits, more than 50 speakers, and plenty of eco-film fun.  Go Green Expo was the brainchild of Bradford Rand, who developed the idea after viewing the controversial film
“An Inconvenient Truth.” He asked himself the simple question: ”How can we make a difference?” This question was shared with his “green” team and Go Green Expo was born. Rand has been a producer of over 700 trade shows and job fairs over the last 14 years and knew he could step up to the challenge.

A one of a kind event from it’s inception and the ground up, Go Green Expo changes not only the public’s view of environmental issues, but also how events like these are developed and produced. Consumers have the opportunity to have hands on experience of the eco-friendly alternatives to current everyday products.  They are able to interact with hundreds of companies that are there to showcase what they are doing to reduce their carbon footprint.

Two of the speakers at this event are Ed Begley Jr, well know actor and environmental advocate, who serves on the boards of many environmental awareness organizations and Mariel Hemingway, who will discussing “How to Green Yourself” through living a healthy life style. What more could you ask for?

One of the truly wondeful parts of this experience is that even the event itself is environmentally friendly.  Biodegradable trash bags, eco-friendly printing, table coverings, recycled signs, and compostable sponsor banners are a few of the nods to zero carbon footprinting. All of the event waste will be separated and sorted to make sure the least amount of trash winds up in landfills. Even the staff will be traveling in eco-friendly style!

Don’t miss the opportunity to educate yourself and your family!

Quote of the Day!

Throughout my adult life, I’ve always been conscious about the environment and what we should do to reduce our impact on the earth. One of my motivations was the belief that you may not be able to change the world, but you can at least change your footprints on this earth.
