Another great green event in Washington DC turned out 40,000 or so visitors for a weekend of green lectures and exhibitors. Green Guru and Green Goddess Gear was there with a great line of products exciting the public with the creative use of reclaimed/recycled materials including billboards, inner tubes, and climbing ropes along with natural fibers like hemp, bamboo and organic cotton.
From coast to coast the green consciousness is certainly growing. The DC visitors were eager to learn about sustainable products and lifestyles. As usual people couldn't believe that billboards were now vinyl and immediately thanked us for salvaging and turning them into usable products. In conversation we also had a chance to hear about other great materials that could find their way to a creative reuse.
Other exhibitors we had a great time meeting with include Reware and Juice Bags that we will be working on cobranded Solar panel bags http://www.rewarestore.com/ , Golden Fuel Systems http://www.goldenfuelsystems.com/ , Jungmaven Hemp Lifestyle, Sweet Riot Chocolates, Green Heart Store, Enlightenment Magazine, PLENT Magazine and more.
On other green adventure notes we travelled to the event in the Eco Ambulance travelling a good percentage of the way on vegetable oil and biodiesel. Along the way meeting with bike shops and outfitters interested in starting recycling programs and carrying Green Guru and Goddess Gear.
