It’s All About the Fashion
Green & Eco Fashion of course!
Aveda and International Academy of Design & Technology Sponsor Eco-Fashion Show
Global Green Alliance has partnered with Aveda and the International Academy of Design & Technology to sponsor an Eco-Fashion Show. The show will take place on Saturday, May 17, on the main Expo stage.
The runway will be showcasing a variety of eco-fashion alternatives from green couture to vintage glam. A team of Aveda’s industry professionals will provide the eco-friendly hair and make-up services required to bring the Eco-Fashion Show to life.
International Academy of Design & Technology will assist in the production of the Show. In addition, some of their students will be featuring their own lines of Eco-apparel designed exclusively for the Show.
The intent for the Eco-Fashion Show is to raise consumer consciousness, hence eco-awareness, concerning the social and environmental implications within the fashion industry. Further, the Show aims to create a sense of social and corporate responsibility while educating both business and consumers in the various ways the fashion and beauty industries can accommodate Green and sustainable practices without sacrificing comfort and style.

Altamonte Springs, FL: Global Green Alliance announced the launch of Green Earth Expo 2008 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The Green Earth Expo will be the largest show of its kind, allowing hundreds of Green and Sustainable corporations and non-profits to showcase their Green initiatives to other businesses and consumers.

Confirmed speakers include top-level government officials, Green business leaders, and environmental experts.
“We think it is important for businesses and consumers alike to know what Green products and services are available,” said Jim Griffin, Founder and President of Global Green Alliance. “We want people to understand that ‘Going Green’ does not mean sacrificing your way of life or spending more money. It means that you care about your environment and you are making efforts to preserve it.”
The Green Earth Expo 2008 will be held from May 14-18, 2008, and is booked for the next ten years. The Orange County Convention Center is the second largest convention center in the U.S., and is the only one to earn ISO 14001-2004 certification for environmental management due to their successful recycling program. Additionally, OCCC recently announced a major solar energy project to provide power to the convention center.
The Expo is designed to promote Green and Sustainable commerce. Participating organizations will enjoy both a day for the Green Business Symposium on Wednesday, May 14, and a dedicated Business-to-Business day to network with like-minded organizations and collaborate on new Green projects on Thursday, May 15. The general public will be welcomed for the last three days of the Expo, enabling exhibitors to showcase their Green initiatives to tens of thousands of consumer, business, and government attendees. The Expo is proud to feature an Eco-Kid’s Corner on Friday-Sunday, with educational activities and entertainment for children and adults alike.

“Green should not be exclusive. Reducing our carbon footprint, protecting our resources, and bettering our individual health should be a natural goal of any organization or person,” noted Griffin. “We feel it is our mission to promote Green commerce to encourage its growth amongst the business community. Furthermore, we want to educate the public about the quality and affordability of Green products and services that are available to them to further incorporate Green into their lives.”
