City of Louisville Adopts ‘Paperless’ Trade Show Solution at Expo Center

“That’s a powerful statement about greenhouse gas reduction and efforts by both the IBEX Show and the City of Louisville to reduce the municipal carbon footprint,” noted Terry Mullin, Viridistor President & CEO.

The use of the Green Box system is the latest in a continuing series of programs to make the City of Louisville green. In 2005 Mayor Abramson signed the Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, which pledged to reduce the city’s carbon emissions seven percent over 1990 levels by 2012. In 2008 the Board of Trustees of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) awarded honorary membership to the mayor for his work in government and environmental activism. And in 2010 he was honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as an “Energy Star Partner of the Year” for the city’s innovative “Kilowatt Crackdown” program.
