Eco-friendly CES

The Consumer Electronics Show has kicked off today in Las Vegas. It's one of the biggest trade-shows in the world and a major trend-setter in the electronics world. Plus, organizers say it's the greenest trade-show in the world.

 

CES has a list of its environmentally-friendly features, which include green products and new alternative energy technologies. The organizers also say 68% of all the waste from last year's show was recycled, and even the wall paper, carpets and toiletpaper used in this year's convention are made from recycled materials. They also took batteries and light bulbs from landfills.

 

Maybe the coolest green display at CES is the Electric Vehicle TechZone, which boasts 3,500 square feet of high and low speed electric autos. Carmakers like Audio, Toyota and Ford will show off the latest green technology in the auto industry, which should be an interesting display. You can follow along at http://cesweb.org/.
