Betterworld Telecom wrapped up the week in attendance at the Eco Build Expo in Boston this past Friday who’s theme for 2008 was “Revolutionary Green: Innovations for Global Sustainability”. Attendees included vendors from the green building space who showcased their goods and services. Majora Carter, Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx in New York, was just one of the many talented speakers that discussed how the economy and green-collar jobs are becoming more popular in today’s society and she urges businesses to get back to their local roots.
When discussing green building and sustainability it’s hard not to mention the U.S. Green Building Council, who’s presence was well known and celebrated at the conference. Van Jones, Founder of Green for All gave an emotional speak about his national organization dedicated to building an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty. Betterworld supports all the exhibitors and speakers at the Eco Build expo and applauds the work and dedication that these organizations are providing to offer us all with a cleaner, greener future.
Peace from Beantown,
