3rd Annual Bi-State Green Expo Set For Jan. 27-29 In Belleville, Il
The Bi-State Green EXPO is excited to host its third great event, and it is quickly becoming an area favorite for finding “green” products, services, and companies that provide them. Last year’s event was spectacular and this year promises to be even bigger and better with approximately 100 + exhibitors representing a variety of energy saving and environmentally friendly products and services. There will be a variety of retailers specializing in eco-awareness products, new technology, and “green” accessories. Living green is also about living well and there will be many health conscious companies demonstrating and educating consumers on life-long wellness strategies. There will be fun activities for the whole family… Our “Green Kids Zone” will facilitate kids of all ages to learn about green ideas and a more sustainable lifestyle. The Green “ECO” Scavenger Hunt will promote learning about green ideas while encouraging exploration of entire expo exhibitors with great prizes for those who solve the puzzle.
Environmental, Healthy Living, and Energy Conscience professionals will be presenting “green” seminars. The seminars will provide great insight to new “green” technologies and how to live life more sustainably. We are once again hosting our popular “Recycle/ Reuse” Contest for the Sponsored Non-Profit Organizations designed to generate community awareness about recycling and reusing efforts as well as generate monies for some great causes. Our “Green” Financial advisors can show you how to make your “green”… “greener” through earth-friendly investing. In our ever changing world, governmental and industry regulations have created many opportunities that have resulted in several financial incentives including many tax credits as well as incentives from the utility companies. Our show will feature several companies offering various creative approaches to those incentives. Come join us, explore, and learn. January 27, 28, and 29.
