EcoExpo and Green Marketplace
Providing an opportunity for green businesses, community organisations and government to promote their products, services and/or messages is a key objective of EcoDay.

The EcoExpo will showcase a variety of exhibitors promoting products and services for sustainable living including green businesses trading in everything from solar hot water systems, to rain water tanks to natural funerals.
Visitors to EcoDay will be able to shop at the Green Marketplace for green gifts, native plants and organic clothing.

Community organisations and government departments will provide visitors with information and advice on local and global environmental issues and will be promoting the services that they offer.
