Too often, we don't think about the foods we eat and where they came from, the products we use for cleaning our homes, the carpets in the convention centers! I continually deal with red irritated eyes while on the show floor and linked it carpet fibers floating in the air. I am not surprised to hear from you that the VOC's are linked to asthma and cancer but I am disturbed by it. I think moving people towards a healthier approach rather then primarily monetary approach in their choices for their shows is the goal. It can be challenging but , as Andy says, with the right incentives, it could happen. Great article.

I've spent thousands of hours on trade show floors and never thought about what's in the carpet. And I think with the right rewards, companies could make a stronger effort to go green and keep us all healthier in the process. An interesting look at an important topic.
