Comments on: Go Green Expo http://www.streetsblog.org/2008/04/21/go-green-expo/ Covering the New York City Streets Renaissance Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Natasha Ruckel http://www.streetsblog.org/2008/04/21/go-green-expo/comment-page-1/#comment-49336 Natasha Ruckel Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:12:35 +0000 http://www.streetsblog.org/2008/04/21/go-green-expo/#comment-49336 Most people left the expo with a huge bag filled with pamphlets, brochures, magazines and a wide variety of product samples. I find a degree of irony here; this is meant to be an eco-friendly show and there was more paper distributed than one person would receive from four months of junk mail. Did some people miss the point of the expo? All attendees received a re-usable bag, (I wonder how many recipients will use theirs again?) It’s made from polypropylene though, which is a totally unnatural non-woven material. I’m thinking that this isn’t the most recycled material known to man – BIG NOTE to Expo organizers to opt for a more eco-friendly recycled and/or sustainable material next time! The Go Green Expo was an excellent start. Many of the attendees were already an educated eco-conscious audience. This expo will need to find ways of luring in not-so educated individuals.
