CES 2009: Where is the Greener Gadgets Tech Zone?

Our team from Greenpeace have looked high and low for two days in vain to find the much-touted "Greener Gadgets Tech Zone" at CES 2009. We heard from the Discovery Channel video crew the same story - searching for an hour and a half with no luck. Above, this is a typical response from an info booth worker.

It's no dis to this young lady. She was perfectly nice if uninformed like all the other info workers. The info on the website and in the CES guide and on the maps have all been incorrect. Last night at a party, I managed to find a friend who'd actually seen the elusive zone who says it's neither in the South Hall nor the North Hall but the Central Hall. I can't even begin to explain to you how huge these "halls" are, btw.

I asked @philsfeed, ultra-cool blogger for Intel, what he thought of it. He said there's some cool stuff over there. But "it's no rainforest. It's more like one of those tiny green spaces you see between two off-ramps on the highway." I've gotten the name of someone who might be able to help. We'll keep you posted.

We're off to our big press conference to promote the new consumer survey "Green gadgets - The search continues". Wish us luck!
