CES Getting Greener In 2008
The Consumer Electronics Show, which kicks off Sunday, is getting a lot greener in 2008. The annual convention, which is expected to draw 140,000 attendees, has taken a number of steps to become more environmentally sensitive this year. The CES blog reveals how:
* CES will work with CarbonFund.org to invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy and reforestation projects to offset emissions created by all exhibition space, show freight, shuttle buses and 600,000 hotel rooms.
* 75 percent of food containers and utensils used at the Las Vegas Convention Center will be fully biodegradable and there will be more recycling containers on the show floor.
* LVCC's Central Hall will use recycled carpet and cleaning crews will use non-hazardous solvents and soaps.
* All attendee literature will be printed on recycled paper with soy ink.
* All light bulbs, batteries and electronics used will be recycled.
