Go Green Expo

By Dani Greer

The Go Green Expo is billed as the nation’s premiere green business and sustainable lifestyle show. This year, it returns to Los Angeles and offers three days of education and fun for business leaders and families alike. The three-day weekend is packed with activities.

Visitors have the opportunity to browse the 200+ exhibitor booths showcasing the latest in green-lifestyle goods and services — including energy conservation, sustainable technology solutions, green building and home improvement, eco-fashion and beauty, pet-care, green living, and more — and guests can enjoy fun, interactive activities including:

• Eco-Film Festival featuring dozens of captivating films
• Eco-Pet Expo with speakers and organic and natural pet products
• Kid’s Pavilion with free yoga, rock-climbing wall, eco-artwork and more
• Display of the latest in hybrid and electric vehicles

• Eco-Wine, Food & Spirits Tasting Pavilion

Several of the many interesting speakers include:
Capt. Paul Watson
 
Captain Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and perhaps best known for his role on Animal Planet’s Whale Wars, will address the Expo audience about his inspiring life and journey on the high-seas.

Mariel Hemingway, actress and author of Mariel Hemingway’s Healthy Living from the Inside Out.

Ed Begley, Jr., author and co-star of the Planet Green series Living with Ed.

And of course the Little Pickle Press team! Be sure to join them at the Los Angeles Convention Center April 15-17. They'll be combing the expo for products they might offer at the Little Pickle Press site, so if you are interested in meeting at your booth, please email.

Ticket information is available at http://www.gogreenexpo.com.

An added benefit: Bring your old laptop, cell phone, or LCD screen for on-site recycling and enjoy free admission sponsored by GREENspotDROPoff.

We're not planning any events, but we do teach our kids to recycle and use energy wisely and not wastefully. We hope to make it up there this weekend!
