A few years ago, the concept of green living was on the fringe, but it isn’t anymore. So many businesses are embracing eco-consciousness: it’s now happily a way of life for many people. If you are one of those people, you’ll want to hightail it down to the Green Living Show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto from March 27-29, 2015.
The Green Living Show features presentations and exhibitors showcasing their green products and services in the areas of food, health & beauty, home & garden, fashion & gear, transportation & travel, and green living resources.
Some of the Main Stage speakers at the Green Living Show in Toronto include:

Be sure to check out the Green Living Test Drive exhibit where you can test drive electrical, hybrid and fuel-efficient vehicles.
If you’ve got the kids with you, you will want to check out EcoParent Village sponsored by EcoParent Magazine where parents will learn to make choices for their families.
Another event to look out for at the Green Living Show are the food demonstrations by Ontario chefs in which they show you how to make the most of your grocery dollars.

Adult admission is $10 on Friday evening after 4 p.m. Free admission to the show if you bring your e-waste such as computers, laptops, disk drives, keyboards, mouse, printers, fax machines, cell phones, cordless phones, pagers, TVs. Free admission to the show if you show your Metropass or PRESTO Card.
Admittedly, I’m not that green, but this seems like a great show — both educational and entertaining. I would want to hightail it to the beauty products counters. Test-driving an electrical car sounds like fun, too, and a bit dangerous since it’s been years since I’ve driven.
I’ve attended a few times and enjoy the show. There is always something new to learn. They were handing out free passes to the yoga show next week!
