The Greenest Place on Earth!

Not only is Orlando home to “The Happiest Place on Earth,” but the city just hosted the Green Earth Expo by the Global Green Alliance on May 15-18, 2008. Laurel and I have our tickets to visit over 500 exhibitors that support sustainable living. The four-day trade show dedicated today’s floor to reach businesses in the community exclusively. Friday’s festivities will feature ECO Kids Day that will have green-friendly activities for the small leaves.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are open to the public for a small admission price. Members of the Global Green Alliance received a discount on admission by $3 — saving the green sounds good to me! Sign up here to become a member. The Global Green Alliance will donate 25% of exhibit sale revenue for Florida companies to American Forests. American Forests will then plant one tree for each dollar donated in an area damaged by natural disasters throughout the state. 250,000 trees are expected to be planted.

We filmed a couple short clips of the booths as we walked around the Green Earth Expo. Check out our video to see what the expo looked like in person.
