The Business is Green Expo is a unique opportunity for businesses to meet new and innovative green businesses. The Expo brings together professionals who have successfully applied sustainable practices and techniques in their businesses and have done so at a cost that delivers an impressive ROI. One can learn additional ideas on going green while meeting their desired bottom-line goals. The Expo also attracts lots of new, cutting-edge businesses with a green vision.
The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Sustainability Committee will also be highlighted at the Expo. Since I am a part of the Carlsbad Sustainability Committee, I get to learn about all the latest and greatest green and sustainable products, services and techniques for my business and home.
The Sustainability Committee created a green checklist for business to use as a tool for becoming greener. The green checklist helps businesses take an audit of their water efficiency, energy efficiency, solid waste, chemical use and pollution prevention in the community, workplace, transportation, and purchasing. After the audit is completed then the business can evaluate the areas that need improvement. At the end of each category is a resource guide to find out more information about a particular topic.
Some of the businesses that have participated in last year's Green Expo provided products or service solutions for reducing waste, energy efficiency, water efficiency, handling of toxic and hazardous substances, transportation, product life cycle, building design and construction, green purchasing and much more. Expo participants will also find emerging and available technologies that promote solutions to environmental problems, ways to green our world by saving energy, reducing pollution, recycling, healthy living, green home products, and maybe some green job opportunities.
Companies that showcased energy efficiency provided window and door solutions and solar energy systems. Additionally, the benefits of replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lights were illustrated by vendors. A wide selection of electrical equipment with energy-saving features such as Energy Star were on display, and the finer points of retrofitting an existing infrastructure to make it sustainable were also explored. Green improvement ideas such as these were part of what made last year's event so infomative and educational.
There were also many businesses that showcased opportunities to partner with the community such as Solana Center For Environmental Innovation. This is a non-profit group that provides classes on composting and reducing waste.
Last year the Expo featured short films that discussed innovative products, services and what businesses and people were doing to make a positive difference in the world.
I have personally exhibited at the Expo for the last two years and have benefited greatly with new green business contacts and attracted new clients for our electronics recycling business, E-World Recyclers. Every year I learn new ways to improve our service to our customers. Prospective clients want to see that your business is providing greener solutions. The Expo offers something for every business and every homeowner who wants to make positive changes to reduce, reuse and recycle.
