    This year’s home show has a special area targeting environmentally friendly products.

    Harry Jones distributes eco-friendly building products. He says more people are going green when it comes to building and remodeling.

    Jones: There’s decking there’s fencing there’s also insulation, believe it or not there’s counter tops that are made out of cardboard compressed cardboard that is hard and heavy, ecologically friendly and environmentally friendly tile.

    The show manager says he is expecting about 70,000 people to turn out especially because since people can’t afford a new home, they are renovating and expanding their existing homes.
