L.A. Stop on National Tour Will Feature Keynote Address by Andrew Winston, Co-Author of the Critically Acclaimed Book "Green to Gold"

LOS ANGELES -- Green Media Enterprises (GME) and Sustainable Life Media (SLM) announced today that the L.A. installment of SLM's multi-city Eco-Advantage

Salon Tour will take place at the Green West Expo and Conference in Los Angeles. The half-day session, sponsored by 3M and Sun Microsystems, will feature a keynote presentation by Andrew Winston, author of the critically-acclaimed book, Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build Competitive Advantage. The program will focus on helping mainstream companies develop their own profitable path to more sustainable business strategies and practices, and will be held on the afternoon of May 20th, the opening day of Green West Expo, which is set for May 20-22, 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Following Winston's address, a panel of "green wave riders" will discuss their companies' efforts and initiatives in pursuing and adopting sustainable business strategies. Previous participants have included key sustainability managers from Intel, Nike, 3M, Sun Microsystems, Johns Manville, and others. The session will allow ample opportunity for Q&A and networking. All participants will be cross-badged to attend the Green West Expo, an expo featuring the full spectrum of green products and services, and are cordially invited to attend the opening night reception at the conclusion of the session.

KoAnn Vikoren Skryniarz, President of Sustainable Life Media, Inc., said, "We are pleased to hold our L.A. Eco-Advantage Salon at Green West. The Salon series is committed to helping mainstream businesses that are new to sustainability get up to speed quickly. Having access to the leading green suppliers on the show floor at Green West brings even more value to Salon attendees." In addition to the Eco-Advantage Salon series, Sustainable Life Media publishes newsletters including "Eco-Advantage Strategies" edited by Mr. Winston, produces events such as the Sustainable Brands Conference, and has one of the premier Web portals for green business information (www.SustainableLifeMedia.com).

Mr. Winston and other Eco-Advantage Salon panelists bring a wealth of knowledge and experience gleaned from working with some of the nation's leading companies. Offering Green West visitors access to the highly regarded Eco-Advantage Salon in addition to providing them with the opportunity to meet the nation's leading suppliers of green products and services on the expo floor makes for an even more powerful event."
