Throwing a green event

1 comment November 7th, 2008

From the interesting press releases department:

If you have to plan an event, consider making it a green one, thanks to tips from Stratford University. Consider these possibilities:

– Composting the food scraps for local farms.

– Serving organic food that comes from sustainable sources.

– Using glass dishes instead of disposable ones, if possible. If disposables are more appropriate to the event, choose biodegradable ones.

– Securing a green building location for the event.

– Sending out green invitations, such as those that are tree-free, recycled, virtual, or contain seeds to plant.

– Opting for local organic flowers and plants for decorating.

– Encouraging use of public transportation during event itinerary when possible, instead of hiring dedicated vehicles.
