The Go Green Expo invites consumers and business to learn more about the eco-friendly products on the market so that they can educate themselves, purchase wisely, and help make our planet greener one step at a time. The event itself is taking a Zero Carbon Footprint Approach, from using biodegradable bags (like the ones from Perf Go Green), earth friendly printing, recycled signs, table cloths, compostable sponsor signs, and more. Carbon offsets will be purchased for staff travel and a portion of all ticket sales will be offset as well.

ydt is proud to be a media sponsor of this unique event that shows us consumers that the simple changes we make in our shopping habits can collectively make a huge difference to the state of our planet. After all, if we have to buy new, we should buy green!

Please see the detailed schedule of events below. Highlights include a screening of the Sundance Film Festival Favorite “Fuel”, speaker presentations from Ed Beagly Jr, the NRDC, Josh Dorfman , a pre event Party at Molly Malone’s in the Fairfax district and more.

**The event is also taking place at the Convention center in downtown which is conviently located off of the Metro.
