What is the Gateway Green Vendor Expo?

A wide variety of high quality recycled and "environmentally preferable" products are available at competitive prices. This year's event will feature building materials. Some standard building materials have always contained recycled content. Find out which ones. New alternative building materials made from recovered materials will also be on display.

Guest speakers are:

• Ron W. Jones, Organizer of the National Home Builders Association's "Green Building Conference"
