Company » What Is A Green Event?

A green event is like a regular event but better - way better. It integrates environmentally friendly practices in every aspect of the experience - from planning to production to tear down. It doesn't take long to see that small changes at every level can have a major impact on the size of your environmental footprint. A green event:

  • Utilizes a recycling and composting system to mitigate waste.

  • Examines alternatives to disposables - such as renting plates and cutlery and using bioplastic or recyclables in the place of styrofoam and plastic.

  • Sources locally for catering, and other goods.

  • Considers organic and fairly traded products and ingredients.

  • Chooses bulk over individual servings (ex: sugar, condiments, butter, milk…)

  • Sources alternative transportation such as hybrid transport, public transport or makes it easy for people to cycle and park their bikes.

  • Uses double sided post consumer recycled paper for communication - or utilizes online registration and information systems.

  • Composts food waste.

  • Implements a carbon credits program to offset carbon emissions from high energy output activities such as air travel and importing or shipping goods.

  • Makes smarter, more efficient choices!
