The Long Beach Convention Center offers a variety of green friendly services at its facility. They include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Exhibit Halls, Terrace Theater and Center Theater all have “cool roofs” on them. These roofs act as insulation when outside temperatures are cool and also retard heat during warm sunny days.
• Solar panels were installed on the roof of the Exhibit Halls in September 2006 and to date they have produced enough energy to provide power to 21,500 homes for a single day. The energy that has been provided by these solar panels has also resulted in the elimination of the pollution that an average passenger vehicle emits over a period of 49,000 days.
• Attempts to decrease energy consumption are also made through the participation in a special program with Southern California Edison called the Demand Bidding Program. Under this program, the facility agrees to reduce energy consumption by a specific amount during certain high demand or shortage periods and in twenty (22) days of participation in 2007, the equivalent of power to 2,840 homes for a single day was provided as well as eliminating the pollution for an average passenger vehicle for the equivalent of 6,460 days.
• Fifty (50) waste containers that are specifically identified for recyclable materials are located within the facility.
• Items are recycled on a consistent basis and over a course of a year, we recycle approximately:
  • Machinery Oil - 55 Gallons
  • Various Size Batteries (e.g. AA, AAA, 9 volt, etc.) - 2,000+
  • Cardboard- 72 tons
  • Wooden Pallets - 1,200
  • White Office Paper - 9 cubic yards
  • Newspaper - 36 cubic yards
  • Glass and Plastic - 6 cubic yards
  • Scrap Metals - 20 cubic yards
  • Ink cartridges/canisters - 50
  • Grocery Shopping Carts - 50
  • Electronic Equipment - 200
• The facility utilize vehicles that are friendly to the environment including:
  • GEM Carts - 3
  • Electric Carts - 5
  • Propane Forklifts - 4
• Paper products that are made of 100% renewable fiber are utilized.
• Events that are associated with the food industry are encouraged to donate any items that would otherwise be treated as waste to local charities.
• Housekeeping cleaning products that are considered to environmentally friendly are utilized.
• A majority of the lighting fixtures around the facility have been retrofitted to accept high efficiency bulbs.
• Instead of washing down areas with water, the areas are swept by either hand or mechanically.
• Motion sensors control all lighting in the meeting rooms of the facility.
• Lighting in the Exhibition Halls is reduced by fifty percent (50%) during move-in and move-out periods of events.
• Landscaping waste is composted and utilized as mulch.

There is no charge for students and their teachers/chaperones to attend this educational experience. However, pre-registration is a must! More information on how to register will be provided soon.

There will be several conference sessions specifically intended for students, viewing of a movie, and an opportunity to visit more than 100 exhibits of the latest technologies that are helping win the battle for clean air. Student session topics will include:

• “The Heat is On!” Students will learn about the causes of Global Warming and what scientists say needs to be done to reduce its impact.
• “How Green is my School?” Students will learn how to determine their “carbon footprint” and make changes at school and at home that can help save the planet.
• “Environmental Winners’ Forum” A panel of high-school students who have won various environmental competitions will describe their projects and provide tips on how to win.
• Students will enjoy a premier viewing of a new movie on the challenge of protecting our planet’s air.

After the sessions, students will be encouraged to tour the Expo by participating in a “treasure hunt” seeking answers to specific questions. The Expo will include displays of student-designed vehicles and equipment that have won various environmental competitions. Students will also receive packets of educational giveaways.

To assist teachers in arranging this field trip for their students, CAPCOA is exploring the possibility of reimbursing schools for substitutes and transportation.
