Minnesota Environmental Partnership (MEP) is Minnesota’s largest environmental coalition, harnessing the strength of our more than 80 member organizations to protect Minnesota’s Great Outdoors. Founded in 1998 by conservation leaders who recognized the value of working together toward shared goals, MEP provides forums for collaboration and offers capacity building services that make our member groups, and our coalition, stronger. In 2010, MEP became producer of the Living Green Expo, the state’s largest “green lifestyle” fair. Living Green is a two-day event that includes more than 300 exhibitors and 20,000 visitors each year. The event provides a powerful new education opportunity, helping our coalition inspire environmentally concerned Minnesotans to act on their values, and building new connections with green businesses. Together, we work to protect and restore Minnesota's clean energy, clean water and Great Outdoors.
