“We hear from all directions that we need to go green, but most of us have very few ideas on how to actually accomplish that,” said Andrea Silverman, GM of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Hollywood. “These events are created to answer those questions and to introduce us to products and services related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, green building, transportation and climate change.”

The expos are positioned as a great way for people to connect with the information, education and contacts that they are looking for and to help them save money, natural resources and ultimately, the planet.

Silverman noted that she will bring along a few iconic Ripley exhibits for public perusal, including a genuine shrunken head, a vampire killing kit, a 6-legged lamb, a giant bovine hairball and a two headed parrot.
