Leading up to the weekend activities, EDF will join forces with Green Drinks and GIGA Talks to offer events at the BAU International Lounge (Lane 1252 FuXing Middle Rd, 4F) on April 14th and 15th, respectively. Open to all, these evenings provide interesting speakers and a great place to meet and socialize with like-minded individuals.
Eco Design Fair works hard to meet its low carbon goal by providing recycling stations, bike valet parking, and offering energy credits to a wind power project in Fujian, China, through Seal Carbon, to offset all attendee travel.
Net proceeds from the Eco Design Fair Spring 2010 will again benefit Roots & Shoots Shanghai and their Million Tree Project in Ku Lun Qi, Tong Liao municipality in Inner Mongolia. The proceeds from previous events have resulted in donating over 370 trees to this project.
