I-GO at UIC's Sustainability Roadshow

I-GO had the honor of appearing at the University of Illinois' Sustainability Roadshow this past weekend. The Sustainability Roadshow is made up of a group of environmental activists and educators who are traveling around the U.S. highlighting issues related to sustainability, with an emphasis on going local and renewable. I-GO participated in the event, along with other Chicago-based green businesses; there were booths on green education, sustainable clothing, toxic-free cleaning products, natural health and environmental activism.

The event had an interactive and informal feel to it, with live music and games. According to Zach Carson, co-founder of the event, they wanted to "bring in the circus vibe, the music. It's education and entertainment". Click here to check out a recent article on the roadshow from the the Chicago Flame, UIC's school newspaper. Next up, the Sustainability Roadshow travels to Knoxville, New Orleans and Austin, TX.
