![If you’re in Toronto this weekend and you’re keen on learning more about how to green your life, the 2nd annual Green Living Show is really the place to be. Touted as “Toronto’s first consumer show dedicated to all things green”, The Green Living Show promises information, innovation and inspiration for virtually every facet of your life.
Over 400 exhibitors will cover the areas of Transportation, Food + Beverage, Energy, Health + Wellness, Green Business, Eco-Tourism + Recreation, Environmental Education, Environmental Organizations and my personal faves, Eco Fashion [complete with fashion show!] and Home + Garden [which I’ll be covering as both a member of the press and all around design fetishist].
No doubt one of the major highlights for many attendees will be the “Embracing Our Common Humanity” lecture by former U.S. President Bill Clinton [last year the keynote was given by Al Gore]. The jam-packed weekend will offer several eco-celebs as main stage presenters, including Robert Kennedy Jr., gardening guru and HGTV Canada host Mark Cullen and Actor/Activist Ed Begely Jr. of HGTV’s “Living With Ed”.
I’m impressed to hear that the producers of The Green Living Show are making great efforts to ensure that the show itself is as much of a green production as possible. They’ve even implemented a Green Screening Committee to screen exhibitors and keep a green eye on every aspect of the show — from the recycled plastic badges worn to the biodegradable signage used throughout the space.
The show pulled in over 20,000 visitors last year and it is estimated that at least 25,000 will attend this year. Not bad at all for a weekend event that’s only in its second year running. I’m predicting a big future for the little green show that could.
A big thanx to Ashley Rochefort and the P.R. team of Applause! Communications for doing a fabulous job of keeping us all in the Green Living Show loop! Stay tuned for posts on my fave eco.design finds from the show.
