 About World Expo
   

 
 

The earliest days of international expositions stressed concepts such as trade and progress, but in recent decades, they've become more and more focused on environmentalism: not just educating the public, but exploring what might be done to undo the damage and experimenting with new ideas and forms to reduce society's impact on the planet.
