EARTH WORKS EXPO 2008

Earth works expo 2008 set for next weekend

Displays, workshops demonstrate better living by going green

Denver’s largest green-living event of the year, EarthWorks Expo 2008 is returning to the Denver Merchandise Mart on the weekend of the Summer Solstice, Saturday and Sunday, June 21-22.

With the theme of “Go Green, Live Well,” EarthWorks Expo provides local businesses and advocacy organizations the opportunity to showcase sustainable products, information and best practices to thousands of motivated, green-minded consumers. An estimated 150 exhibitors, dozens of workshops, world-class keynote speakers and special programs for young people are included in the daily admission price.

“We’re planning this year’s event to be the most inspiring, informative and empowering sustainable-living event ever offered in the Denver metro area,” says Michael Lindemann, the Expo director. “Those attending will be able to learn more about the entire spectrum of green products and services. Everyone who attends can expect to leave with dozens of new ideas about how they can go greener and live better.”

Don’t miss the Expo’s unique Kid’s Garden, featuring age-appropriate and environmentally conscious crafts and activities for children 12 and under. Setting up a six-foot tipi, making unique creations from recycled materials or planting seeds in a container garden are just a few of the hands-on activities for kids.
