Last Wednesday, October 21, the third event of the state-wide GREEN MARKET took place on Fort Street Mall, in downtown Honolulu.
The GREEN MARKET is an educational and community event focusing on sharing information, ideas and products that will create a more sustainable and greener island community.
Strong from the previous edition on Earth Day (April 22) earlier this year - which attracted over 10,000 visitors and 50 booths - vendors gathered to showcase the latests in Hawaii’s green goods, services, and initiatives.
At a time when we are all more conscious about our expenditures and sustainability is viewed as an unaffordable pricey commodity, the green businesses showcased at the GREEN MARKET reminded us that sustainability is marketable.
The presence of the SAH and its members was strong. Among these:
HAGADONE PRINTING, the largest printing company in Hawaii, was on stage presenting its revolutionary green-printing techniques and programs.
STYROPHOBIA featured their biocompostable products made of renewable sources as a sustainable competitive alternative to plastics.
The HONU GUIDE folks featured their valuable guide to Hawaii green businesses and green living at 50% discount price. Included in the 2009 Honu Guide are $3,500 worth of coupons for food, services, health, sport, and travel.
Hawaii Pacific University’s GREEN CLUB unveiled their latest projects and initiatives, such as the Creating Sustainability Fundraiser ($1,500), paper recycling at the University, and the creation of an organic GMO-free garden on the Windward Hawai’i Loa Campus. A good collection of SHAKLEE’s sustainable line of products was also featured.
HAWAII CONSERVATION ALLIANCE booth presented valuable information on the alliance efforts in the preservation of native ecosystems, with fun games and prices.
Scott Saville was on hand representing TR3EES, a fast-growing consulting firm specialized in designing and organizing sustainable zero-waste events, and in helping businesses slash costs by reducing their operations’ environmental impacts.
These were only few of the SAH members who actively participated in the GREEN MARKET on Wednesday October 21.
Many more though were the companies and organizations that showcased their products and services at the event.
We encourage these to join the SAH, to be part of the collective efforts of a network of local business and individuals with the vision of a sustainable future in mind. The SAH is a powerful resource to help your business stand out from the crowd, while implementing solutions to conserve and protect resources for a sustainable Hawai’i.
