On Saturday my wife and I packed up the two kids and headed off t0 the Epic Sustainable Living Expo at the new convention center in downtown Vancouver. He are some of the highlights that we found interesting.
I had heard of green roofs, but I had yet to see green walls! Green Over Grey’s unique system makes it possible to transform any vertical surface into a lush and strikingly beautiful garden, either inside or out.

The ball we bought was only about $26 and was produced under the Fair Trade program and was not produced using child labor.
