GREEN MEETINGS!
Offering environmentally responsible choices will give you the competitive advantage and highlight your commitment to social responsibility. A green meeting or event incorporates environmental considerations to minimize its negative impact on the environment. Here are a few suggestions to make your meetings and events more green!
- Provide condiments, beverages, and other food items in bulk instead of individually packaged.
- Ensure food and beverage packaging is recyclable, and that it will be recycled at the end of the event.
- Use local produce that is in season in meals as well as try to incorporate organic produce, and free run chicken/eggs/meats.
- Arrange to have left over food donated to a local food bank or soup kitchen.
- Always use reusable cutlery, dishware and linens.
- Start or expand your on-site recycling program to capture paper, metals, glass, and plastics, and separate and compost organic waste
You can find more suggestions on how you can help the meetings at your property be more green at BlueGreen Meetings, Green Meeting Industry Council, and the Convention Industy Council's Green Meetings Report.
