EPIC Sustainable Living Show, Vancouver

by Marghanita on May 12, 2009

Just returned from an exhausting but very exciting sustainable living show – EPIC in beautiful Vancouver. It was wonderful to meet so many interesting, enthusiastic business’s making a difference.

An epic building to match the name of the show. This stunning green building has six acres of rooftop gardens. These have been planted with wildflowers, grass, and hopefully become nesting ground for birds. The gardens recreate a Gulf Island beach habitat.

The rooftop also has four beehives which I know will make my Babybee extremely happy!

Green technology can also be found with their seawater heating and cooling, on-site water treatment and even fish habitat built into the foundation.This family friendly event was designed to entertain and educate – the Little Humbugs were there delivering their special environmental message to kids and parents.

The show was a wonderful opportunity to introduce our new sustainable All Natural Little Humbugs Lotions and Potions made in BC using only Natural ingredients for healthier kids and a happier planet. Launches end of May. Will post launch dates next week.
Some of the great people we met at the show:
Salt Spring Coffee team were just bursting with energy about their amazing stories and delicious coffee, they did a fantastic job of keeping not only us fueled but the entire attendance. Great coffee – great people!

White Bear Wines What a great excuse to drink more wine – 15% of sales are donated to marine and rainforest conservation in the Great Bear Rainforest.

The show was also a wonderful opportunity to meet our very own enthusiastic customers old and new -  we love you all!!

Thanks for all your support.
