Going Green

Ready to go green? Of course you are! If you live in the Southeast, like me, you’ve struggled with the drought over the last few years. Because you care about our environment, you’ve switched to canvas bags, instead of those flimsy plastic ones, when you go shopping. You crunch aluminum cans, recycle newspapers, cook with fresh produce, and buy from local growers whenever you can.

That’s why you’ll want to stop by EnviroExpo USA this weekend. The show is going on now at AmericasMart in downtown Atlanta, on the corner of Spring and Harris Streets. It runs Nov. 14 and 15, from 10 AM to 5 PM, and it’s FREE.

The Southeastern Flower Show is proud to participate in the Expo this year with a booth about EcoBright horticulture. EcoBright promotes sustainable landscaping through greener living, and even if you don’t see EcoBright’s environmentally-smart ideas and products this weekend, you can still catch them at the Flower Show next Jan. 28 through Feb. 1. But why miss out this weekend? You could be living greener, saving money, and most importantly, helping save the planet, right now.

If you’re wondering what “sustainability” means, here’s how the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) defines it: it’s meeting our present needs, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. We’re talking about our children, and the world they’ll live in, so that’s why we want to protect our environment while continuing to grow our economy in ecologically friendly ways.

Stop by EnviroExpo USA this Saturday or Sunday. Get going, and go green.
