Plastics remain in landfills and our oceans for thousands of years before breaking down. Beyond a nuisance that can strangle nature, its toxins poison our environment.
"We have a solution for the pollution," Tony Tracy, CEO of Perf Go Green said.
We discussed his biodegradable plastic soon to be on a Wal-Mart shelf near you, and possibly lining your garbage can.
According to Tracy, his dream team of engineers created a biodegradable additive to plastic that breaks down in 12-28 months, leaving nothing behind.
Mr. Tracy was featured in the brilliant documentary Fuel, which I wrote about here. And he gave a colorful party with noted environmentalists like former New York governor, Pataki.
Other highlights from Go Green Expo:
Claire Pimentel of Covenant Green showcased her organic cotton and silk clothing that combined flow and pizzazz. She was my favorite designer at the expo and had I remembered my wallet I'm sure I would have purchased at minimum a tee-shirt. Her long cotton dresses combined sexy with down-to-earth elegance. I would have enjoyed owning one of those, too.
Duchess Marden is a line of organic skin products, which I haven't tried. My only opinion is the Duchess hired top-level help. Here's Jen, sales woman extra-ordinaire; sincere, friendly, informative.
Let's see, who else did I like?
Orang Utan Republik Foundation. Most informative about how to save this species.
Are you planning to tear down a building or house? If so, I learned
there are sustainable ways to do so. Deconstruction and Building
Materials ReWuse Network in Laguna Beach provides this service.
If not, how about putting a green roof on your building?
I think George Irwin of Green Living Technologies would like to help with your green roof and green walls.
There were a few companies at Go Green Expo that I felt shouldn't be there. Maybe it's unfair but so is global warming. I'm talking about those companies who imported from China, in one case, a product that was non-biodegradable. And then there was MonaVie, a juice drink featuring the Acai berry known for its amazing anti-oxidant properties. But MonaVie I'd learn is multi-level marketing, and wholesale the independent distributor sold a bottle for $40. Personally, I won't buy from what feels like a marketing "scheme" even if the berry is bountifully great.
