This past weekend, the Earth-List Team travelled up from San Diego to attend the 2010 Go Green Expo at the LA Convention Center.  We attended the 2009 Go Green Expo and had an amazing time, so this year’s LA expo was a MUST!

Upon arriving, I could see that the expo was even bigger than last year’s.  This year, the Go Green Expo was able to bring together over 300 booths showcasing a complete array of ‘green’ products and services….pretty much anything and everything you can think of related to sustainability and healthy living!  Electric vehicles, windmills, solar panels, lights, clothing, clubs, organizations, vitamins and supplements, home and office supplies, organic foods, Ed Begley Jr,  and so much more.  Check out www.gogreenexpo.com for a complete list of exhibitors and speakers.

Ever since our 2009 Earth-List.com Eco Fashion Show, I have been on the lookout for notable eco clothing companies to include in our 2010 fashion show, and I found plenty here!  Here are a few that are definitely worth taking a look at:

Lady Muse, specializing in high end ladies coats crafted from reclaimed materials

Conscious Clothing, with an impressive line of hemp formal wear

Hemptress, with a collection of stylish ladies hand bags made mostly of hemp

Hemp Elegance, with a complete assortment of ladies clothing and accessories

Caerus & Muse, producing fabric and clothing made out of recycled coffee grinds, and I liked the fabric so much I ended up buying one. Here's me modeling the shirt!

The Earth-List Green Man had fun working the expo floor with his new friend Blue Man!!!  They showcased their dance moves and checked out all the vendor booths at the expo. The Earthwise Bag Company was even nice enough to give them matching reusable shopping bags!

The Ultimate Green Store let them try out their backpacks with built-in solar chargers.

The Clark Adams Company spotted them in one of their hybrid windows

Blue Man got caught taking a nap in a Terramor organic bed.

The Eco Panda girls fell in love with them!

They even got spotted by a photographer from the Huffington Post, here’s a link to their article

If you have any pictures of Green Man or Blue Man, email them to gogreen@earth-list.com

On Sunday I ran into former Baywatch star Alexandra Paul, who has been working with Plug In America to promote electric vehicles.  Alexandra ended up interviewing me for her online radio show and I gave her the scoop on Earth-List, plus a little insider info about what UCSD is doing to go green.  For those of you who don’t know, I currently work full-time as the Head Sports Field Groundskeeper at UCSD.  This year on the fields, I was finally able to implement an organic fertilizer program, and I must say that the results really do show! The dormant bermudagrass has never been so green…..in more ways than 1 ;-)

Last year, Alexandra and I were amongst the speakers on the Alternative Energy Transportation Panel at the 2009 Go Green Expo.

All in all, the 2010 Go Green Expo was a success.  We met so many awesome people, both attendees and exhibitors, who are truly making a difference.  It is really great to see so many people in the green industry come together, and in essence that is what Earth-List is about….bringing people together!
