Green Living Show

Green Like A Frog make it's real kick-off this weekend at the Green Living Show in Toronto, ON. I think it's pretty safe to say, I had a blast!

It was a trade show. Trade shows are supposed to be long, boring and tiring. But, it was seriously the other way around for me. Probably because it was the first time I had the chance to say, "HEY WORLD, I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT I'VE DONE, IT'S CALLED GREEN LIKE A FROG... CHECK IT OUT!"

Not exactly like that, but nearly.

In the end, I'd met some AWESOME people, found some pretty cool eco-friendly companies and products and basically let my vision of Green Like A Frog be heard. Pretty cool, eh?

Highlights
  • Day one (Friday) mid-day: Dalton Mcguinty and a bunch of camera men round the corner and after interviewing Bodystream (Who was sharing a booth with us) headed straight for the Brac Greywater Recycling System my Dad distributes with Dalton claiming that this is what he wanted to see. Eh, not bad!
  • After Dalton and my Dad talk... Dad introduces me, along with Green Like a Frog and my writing. I'm camera-shy, usually, but you know, this was pretty cool. Dalton asked if I would be running against him anytime soon. I said no.
  • On the Saturday, at 1:30, Sandra Rinomato from Property Virgins was a guest star in our booth. She's super-nice and it was nice to finally meet her, after watching her show for so many years.
  • Someone asked me if my last name was Suzuki - Now THAT is a compliment!!!!
  • We had a STOP DUMP SITE 41 Sign at our booth and someone asked about it. So I explained it. Turns out, they were at the same run I was at. Better yet, they began talking about an article they found in the Springwater News about the site that they liked. I was overly excited to tell them, "I wrote it" That's never happened before. That totally made my day!
  • I spoke with the Green Party and they were totally impressed with Green Like A Frog and what I've been doing - hey, that's pretty cool.
That's just highlights. But overall, it was a super-cool weekend. I can't wait to get at it again with more trade shows. I envision Green Like A Frog getting big and I can hardly wait.

In conclusion, HEY WORLD, Here comes something big, something amazing, we're going to get there... Just you wait. I want to you learn about my latest dream come true, it's called Green Like A Frog.
