Visitors to this resource center will find information from a variety of green solution providers, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Michigan State University School of Packaging, the Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition, the Cleveland Sustainability Council and the U.S. Green Building Council.

The pavilion is sponsored by several NA08 exhibitors—including HighJump, Jungheinrich, Konstant, Orbis, RedPrairie and Smart Karton—and also features an e-mail center and exhibitor locator kiosks.

Additionally, Earth Day is the perfect excuse to snag a personalized copy of today's keynote speaker Andrew Winston’s book, “Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build Competitive Advantage.” Winston will sign copies from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
