The fourth Eco Design Fair will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2009 to bring together a growing eco-conscious community in Shanghai. We aim to collectively turn ideas into ACTION through a full day of educational workshops, prominent speakers, exchanges with eco-conscious designers and service providers. A fun filled day is planned for families and friends to also relax and enjoy live music, BBQ, activities for kids whilst browsing the latest products from eco-conscious designers and companies in Shanghai.

The Eco Design Fair exists to advance the sustainable design movement in Shanghai and build community awareness and action around environmental issues as well as provide solutions for healthy sustainable lifestyle. The Eco Design Fair is the original bi-annual fair providing the community the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and be part of a growing eco-conscious movement in Shanghai.

Net proceeds from this event will benefit Shanghai Roots & Shoots and their Million Tree Project in Ku Lun Qi, Tong Liao municipality in Inner Mongolia. The proceeds from previous events have resulted in donating over 270 trees to this program.
