earth-friendly ideas from a little place on the Westside

Enviro Expo Highlights

IMG_8131The Environ Expo was held at the Georgia World Congress Center November 14 & 15th. ecoEmporium had two booths representing one for the home and one for brides. This event was free to the public and offered an opportunity  to learn all about  the “different shades of green.” Above is our wedding booth. The dresses are made from organic cotton, organic hemp, and peace silk. Lots of ideas at the expo if you’re planning an organic wedding.

Bamboo Studio was one of our featured vendors. These plates, bowls, and utensils are made from the sheath of the bamboo plants. Just a little more about this – as a bamboo plant matures, the sheath falls to the ground and usually goes unused. In the case of this product, sheaths are collected, cleaned, boiled, laminated to the desired thickness, and pressed into shape. The result is dinnerware that is strong, elegant, and 100% biodegradable.  Thinking about these for the holidays. I’m learning so much from working here at ecoEmporium!

Thanks for checking in!
