A station from sustainable-living nonprofit Rock ‘n Renew gave guests a quick way to offset their carbon use: The group encouraged attendees to make donations to support carbon-offsetting organization True Offsets and its effort to plant fast-growth, native-species trees in Hawaii as a natural carbon-absorption model.

Filtered-water stations from I Love My H2O quenched the thirst of showgoers, and each guest received a reusable water bottle made from 100-percent recycled plastic, printed with a “fill me and fill me again” slogan. Organizers made efforts to recycle all waste created at the show, and Class provided tote bags—printed with the “use me and use me again” slogan—made from organic cotton. R Design Lab produced reusable signage (that mimicked chalk boards with vinyl, peel-off lettering) and garment racks for each booth, and a carpet made from 38-percent recycled fibers covered the floor of the auditorium.

Additional spaces dubbed "EcOasis tents" sat outside the venue, creating space for additional brands and retailers. Green Power Generators, ranked cleanest by the Environmental Protection Agency, powered each tent.   —Laura Kasavan
