It only takes a s(eco)nd...
Is that shirt you're wearing green? Well it should be. And your pants should be green, and your shoes should be green, and your hat should be green, and - if the exhibitors at this year's Pool Tradeshow have anything to say about it - your underwear should be green too! By the way, you can have all your green clothing in almost any color you want.
Of course were talking about "green" clothing made in the environmentally conscious sense - organic cotton, water or vegetable-based dyes, water soluble glues, ozone-bleaching, and other natural processes.
"It only takes a second to change the world" was the motto for more than 60 exhibitors who were part of the "s(eco)nd" section of the 2008 Pool tradeshow where they displayed all types of fashion and accessories that showed "Green" can come in any style and color
Staff of "Organik"
Disply by "Livity Outernational" Better yet, after talking with many of the exhibitors, Greener Vegas found that these companies are not just being trendy by offering "green" fashion; almost all of these owners are making a true commitment to the environment by doing things like using recycled paper for their business cards and brochures, contributing monies to carbon offset programs like Carbon-Fund and 1% for the Planet, utilizing sweatshop free manufacturing and promoting Fair Trade. Some even power their facilities using renewable solar and wind energy. You can find a complete list of the show's green exhibitors here: S(eco)nd ShowGuide
In addition to the green vendors at this year's show, Advanstar, the show's producer, allowed Greener Vegas to implement a plastic ID badge recycling effort and to recycle left-over show materials at the close of the event. This amounted to nearly 2 tons of paper, plastic, and cardboard. Follow this link to see the impact of this recycling here
Bamboo flooring designates the "s(eco)nd" area of the show
