White Plains, NY-The New York International Gift Fair will feature nearly 250 green products in its SustainAbility: design for a better world exhibit at this summer's fair. Buyers can find green products across all categories, including tableware, stationery, personal accessories, juvenile products and home décor. For a full list of exhibitors, visit www.nyigf.com.

"Consumer demand for high quality has entered the ‘green' arena, and manufacturers are responding with upgrades to both craftsmanship and construction of these products. The display this August will feature the highest quality of product since we introduced the display at NYIGF three years ago," said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president.

In addition to the display, market goers can attend on-site educational seminars, including "It's Easy Being Green - Just Ask the Experts!" Monday, August 16. Members of the NYIGF SustainAbility Task Force will lead an open-forum exploration of environmentally friendly and socially responsible best practices. Advance tickets are $20 and $25 onsite.

The NYIGF is scheduled for August 14-19.
