“Most homeowners want to make their homes more efficient, but assume the process is too complicated and expensive,” explained Elliot Baldini, senior marketing analyst for Sears Home Services. “The Sears Home Energy Audit takes the guesswork out of home energy efficiency by giving homeowners prioritized action steps to maximize their energy- and money-saving results.” A limited number of Sears Home Energy Audits will be given away to Go Green Expo visitors via sweepstakes in the Sears booth (#134) .

Go Green Expo will be using solar power to generate electricity on the show floor. All table coverings, trash bags, signage and banners will be made from biodegradable materials, and recycled and recyclable materials will be used throughout the show floor. The waste management program will take into account the environment by making use of local donation programs, and carbon offsets will be purchased for all electricity and fuel usage associated with the show.

“We are elated to have so many speakers, panels, nonprofit organization and businesses under one roof to share sustainability best practices and help educate the public,” says Bradford Rand, President and CEO of Go Green Expo. “What seems to be a great reflection of the growing green economy even in these tough economic times, we are pleased to see the LA show booth space is entirely sold out.”
