ATLANTA - May 28, 2009 - Atlanta will roll out
the green carpet as Go Green Expo, the largest
environmentally focused business and consumer show in the United

boost Atlanta's "green economy" Go Green Expo is excited to partner

"We are elated to have so many speakers, panels, nonprofit
organization and businesses under one roof to share sustainability
best practices and help educate the public," says Bradford
Rand, President and CEO of Go Green Expo. "What seems to be a
great reflection of the growing green economy even in these tough
economic times, we are pleased to see that Atlanta show booth space
is nearly sold out."
Go Green Expo is open to the public on Saturday
and Sunday, tickets are only $10 for adults, $5 for students and
seniors and free for kids under the age of 12. In an effort to
encourage Atlanta's business leaders to embrace eco-friendly

business day. Business buyers, wholesalers, CEO's, government

Committed to Green:
In an effort to make the show as green as possible, Go Green Expo
has enlisted Brighter Planet to calculate the event's electricity
usage, on-site fuel use, staff travel, event vehicles, waste
disposal & attendee travel, and then offset their carbon
emissions for a completely carbon neutral show. Go Green Expo will
boast the latest in green design and function, supported by
Metropolitan Exposition Services and Printing Responsibly, such as:
100% compostable and biodegradable table top coverings, recycled
booth ID signs, biodegradable banner material, soy and water based
inks and a waste management program that takes environmental and
social ramifications into account by utilizing local donation
programs.
