May 17- 18 at the Boise Centre on the Grove
The Idaho Green Expo will be a free, two day annual event that will showcase environmentally friendly products and services, and provide information that will help people to lead healthier and more sustainable lives. The goal of the Expo is to improve both the quality of our environment and the quality of our lives.
The Expo will feature over 150 exhibitors and more than 60 workshops and seminars on a variety of green-living topics. Attractions will also include music, speakers, art, food, demonstrations and activities for children.
The Idaho Green Expo will be a celebration, but one with a serious purpose: to accelerate the emergence of a new green economy - an economy that is sustainable, healthy, ethical and earth friendly.
It will unite green businesses, social and environmental groups, visionary thinkers, and thousands of community members in a lively exchange of ideas, commerce, and community building.
The Expo will allow visitors to:
- See dozens of green products and services that are currently available to meet their needs. Attendees will learn about organizations helping to affect positive and sustainable change in our region, our country, and around the planet.
- Attend educational workshops and how-to sessions. Networking opportunities will abound for people looking to work together for change at the local, national, and global level. Meet interesting people who share common values.
- Listen to speakers addressing a wide array of green topics, from the benefits of composting, to how to help your community improve their public transit system, to conserving energy in your home and workplace.
- Spend some time at the Capital City Public Market, meet a few of our local farmers and discover the flavors of locally grown food, while listening to the sounds of local musicians.
- Take in a green film or stop by the Kid’s Zone where the whole family can have some fun learning all about “green”.
