Some Marjoram is a plant near the thyme. For other Marjoram is a first landing straight on the reality TV.

On the menu lounge Marjolaine so: meetings, discoveries, debates, tastings, lectures, films, ... purchases and exchanges.
Because that the show does not limit itself to meet the exhibitors! During those nine days lectures, video screenings and workshops on coming.
The conferences will discuss and reflect on the great issues of society. A day will be dedicated to individual and collective resistance against such practices as greenwashing. Note, therefore, a panel discussion on Saturday at around 16h eco-laundering.

But originality, this year, are the "Solidarity trade Marjolaine " organized in partnership with the coordination of salts Ile-de-France ( local exchange systems), whose concept is based on barter dematerialized. Specifically, visitors can exchange services, according to their wishes and know-how during cosmetic house or organic food, garden maintenance, piano lessons, language classes, childcare, volunteer exchange ... Offers and requests may be already available on the website .
You should know that the founder of the company organizing the show Marjolaine ( SPAS) is Claude Dumont (former CEO of SPAS), a pioneer of organic and former president of WWF.
Sébastien Vasseur, part of the organizing team of the show last twenty years has answered my questions so that we know more about the background of the show.
So he explained that all products presented the show are products previously selected by the Progress & Nature (Nature & Progrès is behind this show), which then guarantees the quality of products offered to visitors. This is the 35 th edition of the show, exhibitors are increasing annually, to want to be present while the boundaries of space on the park are reached for many years. The team can afford to focus on qualitative development by seeking quality but also consistency, diversity and ethics. Little chance of hitting an exponent which is more bio by chance than conviction!
There is also a search for environmentally in materials used in the show: the removal of carpeting in the aisles of the show, provision of garbage sorting and outdoor toilets or shadowed-of composters for restaurateurs to get rid of their organic waste.
However Sébastien Vasseur reminded me of the technical and logistical organization of events of this magnitude, which reduces the flexibility and prevent or at least slow the progress of such efforts. Thus, the team had wanted to change the partitions for melamine board partitions but after several studies, it was concluded that the life of a cardboard partition, much less a partition Melamine, does not adequately palliated the environmental benefit of cardboard. Engage in environmentally friendly is a winding path strewn with obstacles!
