Go Green Expo a Success

April 26-27 -This past weekend Go Green Expo was held at the Hilton Hotel in New York. Three floors of booths with eco friendly products and non-profit organizations concerned about the environment were host to thousands of visitors.

Chris Neidl, Solar One’s Outreach Coordinator and Director of our I <3 PV campaign gave a seminar to dozens of enthusiastic New Yorkers.

At the booth, a solar powered laptop was running on a mobile charger built by students from Manhattan Comprehensive Day/Night School. (Visitors could charge their iPods, cell phones and computers, as well.)

Visitors were very impressed by the students who were on hand to explain the campaign. And he laptop provided a live link to legislators so that voters could write directly to their elected officials, urging support for solar energy in New York.

Also, TrulightTM CFL light bulbs were being sold at the booth. We discovered that many attendees have already switched their light bulbs and are part of saving energy in NYC.

Stuyvesant Cover Park was displayed in all its verdant and flowery beauty in a photo power point show enticing volunteers for the Park.

All in all, many more New Yorkers have been informed about Solar One and it’s programs. A great success!
