A crowd checks out the vendor booths at the Los Alamos National Laboratory Small Business Department’s sustainability fair Thursday at Fuller Lodge. Sustianable Acquisition Lead for LANL Maryrose Montalvo said 14 vendors participated in the fair, which showcased businesses’ sustainable products and services. She explained the participating vendors have blanket order agreements with the laboratory. While the businesses offer a wide range of products and services, they were able to promote their green services and products during the fair. The event was open to the public but it was primarily geared toward LANL purchasing staff and consumers. Photo by Christopher Fresquez/LANL
