22 Banksy Exhibition Photos

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Eco Banners

I seem to be having a bit of an eco theme this last month … turning all eco-warrior I am.

I just received from email spam from Signs Express about their new Eco-Friendly Exhibition Banners, it’s the first time I even thought about the fact that you could get eco-friendly banners over and above ’standard banners’ and certainly piqued my interest.
