In the Eco-Products Exhibition, the displays of companies and organizations are not the only things to see. The organizers are preparing some special exhibits and events where visitors can learn and experience goodness of eco-friendly lifestyle. Let me introduce you some of these special booths.

[10th Anniversary Theme Exhibit]

The theme for this year’s exhibition is “We Can Do It! Eco-lifestyle with a 50% CO2 Reduction”. To pace down the current global warming, it is said that the 50% reduction of CO2 emission is necessary. It is a difficult goal, but if we make full use of the latest technologies gathered in the exhibition, it is not impossible to accomplish this goal. In this theme zone, you will have chance to observe the latest eco-technologies and feel the solution of 50% CO2 reduction is very easy process in our daily lifestyle. The presentation of new eco-technology presents possibilities of sustainable society in our near future.

[Eco Products Market]

The theme for this year’s market is “GO! GO! GREEN!!!.” You can purchase all kinds of eco-products from here: fair trade goods, tea, cosmetics, fresh vegetables and so on. I remember seeing various organic cotton goods and bamboo wares when I went last year. It was even fun just watching these products.

[Carbon Offset Exhibition]

This booth is exhibited by the collaboration of Japanese environmental magazine “Sotokoto” and Eco Products. It displays goods and services that play a important part in the CO2 reduction of shops and cafés.

I have shown only a few examples here, but there are a lot more events like these at the exhibition. (Bio-plastic Pavilion, Natural Food Court, Outdoor and Eco-tourism, Eco-collaboration Plaza, and many more.) If you have time, try going to these events also. It’s one way to fully enjoy the Eco Products Exhibition.
