Green Expo planned April 6 at Alpharetta Campus
Natural resource and sustainability issues will be hot topics during The Green Expo scheduled for Monday, April 6, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Georgia Perimeter College’s Alpharetta Campus.
Presenters and participants are asked to ponder the conference theme: “What is the greatest environmental problem of the 21st century and what is your solution?”
The event, spearheaded by students in the Environmentally Green Organization (EGO), is open to public.
“There are all kinds of events and celebrations of different sorts but none for the environment,” laments Georgia Perimeter student Alex Gordon. “This is a gathering of local professionals and experts from sustainability and natural science fields collaborating to share information, network and demonstrate their practices and to carry out the necessary change for the future.”
Organizers have appealed to those manning expo booths and leading presentations to create activities that are “fun and interactive” for participants. Lunch also will be provided.
Additional information and registration is on the EGO website. GPC’s Alpharetta Campus is located at 3705 Brookside Parkway.
