Among them, the EPA had 12 booths and the rest were given to producers who had signed contract with EPA to sell products through the newly established On-line Green Product Store. The Show attracted a total of 80,000 visitors and many of them were interested in the Green Living Expo. Besides the Expo, there were very intensive media exposures before, during and after the event, including newspaper, websites, e-newsletters, pamphlets, banners and radio programs. Media exposure helped to attract consumers to acknowledge, participate and appreciate the event as well as how to implement green consumption. (2) International Conference on Green Products The event was held on Nov. 13 and 14 in Taipei. There were 5 foreign speakers (from Sweden, USA, Canada and Japan) and 7 local speakers invited to give speeches and joined in the panel discussions following each session.
