2007 Earth Summit
|
 The Go Green Initiative is proud to announce that one of our featured speakers at the 2007 Earth Summit is Faber Dewar, star of The Learning Channel's Trading Spaces.
Faber moved to Los Angeles in 1995 and started his hand-crafted furniture business, Alderly Edge, in Venice Beach. He especially tries to work with recycled materials or "architectural salvage."
Recently, Faber has launched two new companies. Zero Impact Packaging promotes sustainable, biodegradable products that will seamlessly replace detrimental plastic packaging and products, without sacrificing price or functionality. Life H20 provides consumers with great tasting water from the snow melts in Yellowstone National Park, in bottles made of a natural, corn-based starch that can be composted, nourishing the soil into which it completely dissolves. All profits from Life H20 are donated to World Partners International, a nonprofit charity that helps third world countries develop accessible, sustainable water supplies.

This May we celebrate 5 years of growing Go Green success! The Go Green Initiative has expanded quite a bit since our first school in Pleasanton, California, implemented our program in 2002.

We extend a BIG thanks to all of our Go Green Schools for their continued support and hard work.
