LIVEMAGS.NET MAY>>10 43 OC Green Expo By: Daniel Albert T he term "green" makes one think of many different ideas--global warming, recycling, polar bears on a floating ice sheet, etc, but what does "going green" really mean? Does it mean you automatically drive a Prius? Or are you green if you just pick up trash as you walk the beach? The truth is the term "green" gets tossed around a lot in today's environment of bombardment marketing and ends up coming at us from all angles, thus making it easy to get lost in a green haze. So what can you personally do to help the environment therefore helping yourselves and future inhabitants of this wonderful planet? The Orange County Green Expo has answers. This is the first year for the OC Green Expo and it promises to be an event for this time. This expo is all about action, not talk. The OC Green Expo will be held in Dana Point Harbor at the Dana Point Harbor Boat Show in, of course, Dana Point, California. This great eco-friendly event will take place on June 3-6th and provide its environmental friendlies with everything one needs to know about how to live green and make a difference to the planet in everyday life. The expo will feature exhibitors and sponsors with eco-friendly products and services for both marine and everyday living. Sustainable living, on land or at sea, is the objective at what is already known as the finest boating event in Southern California. These eco-products and services will cover everything from small changes in your home and garden to the way you think about driving. The stunning backdrop of the harbor and marina will play host to exhibits ranging from eco-tourism, alternative energy, organic apparel and more. Most people prefer to buy from companies who have a sense of responsibility for our environmental future so everyone is out to showcase products to an eco-minded community in the fun, collaborative environment of this unique dockside expo.
