Going Green World's Fair

In my travels I have always come across amazing places that were usually reminisces of a World's Fair. In my studies I have always come across many interesting stories that not only added to a jump in innovation but also an increase in technology and entertainment. What I wonder now is where have these World's Fairs gone? The last one was the 2000 Hanover Exposition. It seems that nations are too worried about getting revenue on such a minuscule investment that reaps benefits for generations to come. Not only do these fairs provide a reach history for the future, they showcase amazing architectural buildings along while providing a landscape for people to enjoy years later.

Certainly they still have fairs here and there but nothing like they use to have. We need a World's Fair that is for today's economy and technology that will usher in a new set of ideas that Expositions and Fairs of the past use to do. Most of the modern days fairs are located in the Eastern world. There isn't really a problem with that, but why not have another one in America or South America that promotes "Going Green." This is something that should be taken note of. We obviously are in a changing world, and like fairs of the past, it will provide a gateway to the future that will further our knowledge and know how of keeping the environment safe and clean for generations to come.

• They can build numerous buildings that are completely green.
• Showcase new types of food that are organic and all green.
• Present to people information about the ever increasing problems about our environment.
• Let people know about the problem with seafood production as well as the problem with dumping into the ocean. (Almost 3 times as much weight in trash gets put into the ocean as seafood that is taking out each year.)
• Let children from around the world showcase their new ideas for the fair with great prizes.
• Allow the area to be easily accessible and the use of modern technology to lower the pollution.
• Focus around every one's carbon footprint.
• Open the eyes of the world by making it educational, entertaining, and FUN.
• Have concerts and celebrities there.
• Make sure it's open for at least 6 months.
  
• Make sure it makes change.
  

Enough with the Live 8 and Live Earth.....we need this and we need it now. Not to say those programs were bad but they were only one day and we as a great world can do so much more with an awesome World's Fair. Put it in 4 locations if need be. Still it needs to be done and it needs to be done now.
