What is a Green Event? BACK TO TOP
A green event is an event of any sort that is planned with the goal of minimizing waste throughout the planning process. Green events go beyond simply recycling to address other major areas of waste such as food options, transportation alternatives, venue locations, and paperless advertising. By considering all aspects of an event, planners minimize material and electrical waste, learn about simple greening methods, and can educate others on sustainable actions
Why plan a Green Event? BACK TO TOP
It is important that we look to all aspects of our lives for opportunities to be more sustainable. There are so many facets of living a sustainable lifestyle. Ensuring that our events minimize waste is one of them. Events can be very wasteful. Just think of all of the paper plates, handouts, decorations, and unsustainably produced food we often use when hosting. There are many ways we can each alter and improve the way we host events. These changes usually lead our events to not only be more sustainable, but often more beautiful as well.
