CES Goes Green - Consumer Electronics Get More Eco-Friendly
Consumer Electronics Get More Eco-Friendly

The world’s largest consumer electronic trade show opens Monday in Las Vegas and the new ideas, products and promises will be as plentiful as terraflops at a server farm.

The big trend as predicted so far seems to be an immense emphasis on reducing energy consumption from batteries and power adapters. It may seem small, but the impact could improve market share.

The 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) runs from Monday, January 7 to Thursday, January 10, 2008.

Even the show itself is going green.

* In partnership with Discovery Channel's Planet Green network (launching soon), we're making CES carbon neutral by working with CarbonFund.org. CarbonFund will invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy and reforestation projects to offset the emissions created by every inch of CES space, all show freight, the shuttle buses and 600,000 hotel rooms will be offset via investments. (In fact, we're quite proud to say that CES will be the largest carbon neutral tradeshow EVER!) * Most of (75%) of the food containers and utensils used at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) will be fully biodegradable. * More recycling containers throughout the show floor. * All leftover food and beverages from the LVCC will be donated to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. * Recycled carpet used in the Central Hall of the LVCC. * Post-consumer recycled paper with soy ink will be used for all attendee literature. * Non-hazardous cleaning solvents and soaps will be used by the LVCC staff. * All light bulbs, batteries and electronics used will be recycled. * More conference sessions dedicated to the environment, the Sustainable Technologies TechZone in South Hall and the Emerging Countries Program, which also focuses on sustainable development.

Celebs at CES will include Kevin Costner, Mary J Blige and Yoko Ono! Who would have thought they appreciate geek stuff, too?
