Update: Interview: Aysia Wright of Green Loop | Better Living Show

Portland is the Most Sustainable City, according to SustainLane . But you already knew that. Portland pioneered sustainable living when the only green we were known for were our hills + smoking some. But now the national spotlight is on Portland + the glory stage is at the second annual Energy Trust Better Living Show this weekend @ the Expo Center.

In addition to celebrating our status (because really, who doesn't like to gloat) this show is packed with leading Portland entrepreneurs, businesses + resources to demonstrate why we're #1! I'm not usually one for “conventions”, but the combination of fashion, food, film + FREE (oh yeah, did I mention that?) hits this gal right in the green.

Here are a few highlights of the show. Or, where you might spot us…
{Details + full schedule here.}

All weekend:
