Expo Contacts
The annual Living Green Expo is a free event that showcases the environmentally friendly products, services and activities of hundreds of Minnesota businesses and organizations. The Expo will arm you with lots of information and resources to help you take action to better protect the environment.
Our event
At the state fair grounds in St. Paul, the Expo features over 250 exhibitors of products, services, and information, along a schedule of workshops on a variety of sustainability and green living topics. Expo attractions include music, food, demonstrations, and family-friendly activities. Over 25,000 Minnesota residents attend what has now become an “institution” within Minnesota’s green movement.
The event brings together hundreds of environmental businesses, organizations, and volunteers who share an interest in helping Minnesotans learn and take action to better protect the environment and lead healthier, more sustainable lives. The Expo is a casual and fun way to learn more about living green—whether you are just getting started or looking for the latest in environmental products and services.
Organizers
The Expo is a project of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Outreach and events are key elements of the agency’s Living Green Program, a suite of projects and activities designed to help Minnesotans make environmentally responsible decisions and lead more sustainable lives.
A state agency, MPCA partners with many outside organizations to make this event possible.
