Main Even Red Carpet Lounge presented by Debbie Durkin and Durkin Entertainment
|
Gift suites are a way for companies to show off their product and, even better, have a chance for a celebrity to use their product and spread the word to consumers. Lately, Gift Suites have been going ”Green” but what does this mean? Well it doesn’t mean the color, it means doing what is necessary that will not harm the earth. So if a product says that they are “Green,” they are using the resources that are friendly to Mamma Earth.

It's nice to know that more companies are going "Green" and are taking care of the world. If you want to go “Green,” you don’t need a business, you can help by recycling, taking mass transit or using products that don’t harm the globe. "Green" is a good thing!
