Special Features at this year's Kansas City Remodeling Show:

Are you looking for environmentally friendly products? Then it's time you entered THE GREENZONE! The GreenZone is a 50,000 sq. ft. area of products, services and ideas for eco-conscious living and sustainable living. Non-profit organizations will be on hand to promote everything from recycling and energy conservation to sustainable lifestyles and alternative fuels. Commercial vendors will showcase products ranging from solar collectors and wind energy generators to thermal windows and high-efficiency home appliances. The GreenZone will also feature several educational exhibits on experimental programs and theoreticl projects to support eco-conscious living.

The featured speaker at this year's GreenZone is the ever popular Ed Begley, Jr. Ed is a leading proponent of living an environmentally friendly lifestyle and practices what he preaches. He and his wife Rachelle are the stars of the HGTV show "Living with Ed" where they bring us into their home and show us ways to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

We encourage non-profit organizations, commercial vendors and educational institutions who are interested in or promote related products, services or ideas to contact the Remodeling Show to participate in the GreenZone exhibiton.

When it comes to taking personal responsibility for the environment, few individuals can match the record of actor and activist Ed Begley, Jr. Known for turning up at Hollywood events on his bicycle, he has served as chairman of the Environmental Media Association and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. He serves on the boards of organizations including the Thoreau Institute, the Earth Communications Office, Tree People and Friends of the Earth. His work has earned both praise and awards from numerous environmental groups including the California League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Coalition for Clean Air, Heal the Bay, the Santa Monica Baykeeper, the Southern California Gas Company and the American Lung Association. Currently, he is the co-star of the hit Planet Green series Living with Ed, a look at the day-to-day realities of "living green" with his not so environmentalist wife Rachelle Carson. His book Living Like Ed is currently available nationally from Clarkson Potter / Random House, and his new book Ed Begley, Jr.'s Guide to Sustainable Living also from Clarkson was released September 2009. He continues to tour the country giving speeches about his sustainable living practices.
