Expo joins the green revolution
The Small Business Expo plans to improve the country¹s carbon footprint by persuading the 13,000 businesses that attend
the expo to become sustainable. Its theme this year is sustainability and businesses are being encouraged to go green at
the expo¹s Genesis Energy Sustainability Zone.
By setting an example on sustainability expo organiser Sarah Trotman hopes all business owners who attend the Small
Business Expos will follow suit, thereby making a significant contribution to the green revolution.
Climate Change Minister Hon David Parker and four keynote speakers, whose businesses have benefited from being
sustainable, are promoting sustainability at the expo.
³By recycling, saving power, becoming carboNZero rated, using biodegradable billboards and green cabs and promoting
sustainability we have set an example we want others to follow,² Sarah Trotman says. ³The ripple effect could really
make a real difference to New Zealand¹s carbon footprint.
³Our next step is to become even more sustainable by launching an online 24/7 expo.²
