In order to protect our degrading environment, we should use products that use renewable energy. By using energy efficiency products, one can not only save his money but also show his concern towards nature. There are alternative energy sources such as wind or solar energy, bio and renewable fuels that reduce carbon footprints and heating costs to a great extent.

If you want to learn about energy efficiency products , visit Eco Expo 2008. In order to promote environmental responsibility and a sustainable lifestyle, ECO EXPO 2008 is being held from 23rd-27th October at RDS, Ireland's leading exhibition venue in tandem with the Ideal Homes Show. It is the best platform to showcase energy efficiency, recycling, conservation, and any product or service that saves our environment by using renewable energy. It will provide suppliers of environmentally-friendly products and organizations like, hybrid cars, low carbon products, bio-friendly products, energy saving and low energy products, with a unique marketing, sales and promotional opportunity to show how they are meeting the challenges of the Eco Age.

As we all know, transport is one of the greatest contributors to carbon emissions. Every day thousands of cars release harmful gases and adversely effect the environment. One must therefore use low carbon, bio fuel and hybrid cars. These electric vehicles are environmental friendly and help in reducing the carbon footprint. Another advantage of using energy efficiency cars is that the traveller can cut down his fuel cost. Thus, hybrid cars are useful for the user as well as the environment. Exhibits will include low carbon, hybrid, electric and bio fuel vehicles, motorbikes, bicycles, public transport, bio and low carbon fuels. They have been categorised in to four bands depending on their carbon emission and VRT

Eco Expo will feature products that use renewable energy. One such product is Heat pump. This energy efficiency product uses earth as a source of energy for heating and cooling large buildings. Then there is Eco house, a safe, eco-friendly home that makes use of renewable energy and resources and high level of insulation to reduce carbon footprints and heating costs of your conventional homes. The Eco house will demonstrate how you can adapt your current house to make it a more sustainable and what to look out for when buying a new home. Eco Expo will also provide a forum where organic products, from organic food to clothing and from packaging to wallpaper will be promoted.
