The Green Living Expo is a 2-day
event designed to provide Long Island residents and business owners with the information they need to support a greener way
of life here on Long Island.
“Green Living” is a new concept
for many Long Islanders, for others it has been a way of life for years. Regardless of which category you fall into, being
“green” is a notion that has firmly taken root in our society.
The Green Living Expo will be the catalyst between
businesses, organizations, and consumers looking for information, inspiration, and innovation. It will provide information
to help move us in the direction of a lifestyle that is both economically viable and ecologically sound.
The Green Living Expo will have two full days
of programming to make the event both educational and fun. Speakers have been selected for their passion, commitment, innovation,
and authority on their “green” topic. There is no additional fee required to attend the programs/lectures/classes.
1 percent of annual sales. That’s a healthy chunk of change, no matter what size, or how successful,
your company. Currently, over 700 businesses worldwide make up the 1% For The Planet membership, pledging that impressive
amount to environmental organizations each year. 1% FTP is a powerful way for businesses to help drive positive environmental
change, gain recognition for their responsibility, and promote further action on the part of consumers and other companies.
Each member has made a commitment that extends far beyond the balance sheet. Thus, our oceans, rivers, lakes,
mountains, forests, deserts and lowlands are healthier and better protected every day.
Becoming a 1% FTP member is not only good for the natural environment—it’s also good for business.
Every member company has the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the rest of the membership, foster new business
relationships, connect with likeminded individuals and share ideas and resources. Nowhere else will you find such a vast network
of successful businesses across multiple industries, all working toward solving the environmental crisis, 1% at a time.
