Criteria for Exhibiting

The Better Living Show is a three-day event showcasing companies, agencies and organizations that provide products, services, resources and information for attendees to make more ecologically sustainable lifestyle choices.

There are few completely sustainable products or services; however exhibitors must meet our minimum standards that look for products and/OR approaches that result in lower impact on the environment than the comparable products or approaches currently being used by other companies.
