“EDF is a celebration for all the amazing people working in this vibrant eco community to network, showcase what they do and learn from each other," says Sherry Poon, founder of Eco Design Fair. "At the same time, we want to raise awareness of environmental issues and influence individual and collective public behavior in a fun, artistic and experiential way. Together, we can take action, make thoughtful conversations, create intentional impact, build meaningful dialogues and help to redefine a new culture and community of green in China."

This year's event spans two days and boasts a bustling plant-based marketplace of about 50 exhibitors, a packed program featuring a 'Change Starts With Myself' photo booth, Zero Waste stations, hands-on workshops, fitness classes, dedicated children’s areas and live performances. It’s also a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in finding out more about green and healthy living.

The environmental challenges the world is facing require bold, creative and collective action. Small changes in our routines can create positive effects on the planet and inspire friends, neighbors and community members to do the same.

“Everyone who loves the earth and wants to contribute to the environment should come to the EDF 2018 to discover and be inspired by what eco leaders are doing in each area," says Forrest Song, VeggieDorm, an organizer of the Eco Design Fair 2018. "And each of us, instead of being content with just staying in one environmental initiative, should ask ourselves: What other lifestyle habits can we change? What needs to be called to action? Which projects can we participate in?"
Take action to improve the health of our bodies, minds and planet at the weekend's Eco Design Fair.
