living sustainably to the people of Los Angeles.

Bringing together people of all shades of green, GO GREEN EXPO was created as
a forum for increasing awareness of energy and environmental challenges,
showcasing green products and services and educating the public and corporate
world on the many innovative ways to go and be green. Attendees can sample the
latest in organic fashions from Positively Earth, dress their baby in the
latest eco-chic from Happy Green Bee, learn how to recycle their e-waste with
Ewaste Center and find out how to green their homes with Green Planet
Building.  From the savviest environmentalist to the newly green, Expo
attendees will have the opportunity to explore a variety of special interest
areas including: Business / Electronics, Energy / Conservation/ Recycling,
Food / Beverage, Health / Beauty / Fashion, Home / Building, Kid Zone,
MarketPlace, Non Profits.

The three day event at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the first convention
center in the United States of its size and the first city building in Los
Angeles to become LEED-certified, GO GREEN EXPO will use solar power to
generate electricity on the show floor, calculate the carbon output and offset
the emissions, and use recycled and recyclable materials throughout the show
floor. Brighter Planet will work with the GO GREEN EXPO to calculate the
event's electricity usage, on-site fuel use, staff travel, event vehicles,
waste disposal and attendee travel, and then offset their carbon emissions for
a completely carbon neutral show. For each of its shows nationwide, GO GREEN
EXPO will use 100% biodegradable trash bags provided by its title sponsor,
Perf Go Green, in an effort to ensure the waste that does go in the trash bin
will eventually biodegrade in the landfills.

The GO GREEN EXPO National Tour will also boast the latest in green design and
function, supported by Metropolitan Exposition Services, such as: recycled
flooring, 100% compostable and biodegradable table top coverings, recycled
material booth ID signs, biodegradable banner material, soy and water based
inks and a waste management program that takes environmental and social
ramifications into account by utilizing local donation programs.
