Meeting Rentals
The most professional meeting or conference can be arranged to minimize pollution. In fact, this is the ideal time to prove to clients and colleagues that your business is a responsible one. Pick a location that will minimize travel, then calculate how much each participant will travel, and use the links below to find out how to compensate for those emissions. Find a local caterer who will use local and organic ingredients, and who will provide real place settings including cloth napkins. If possible choose environmentally responsible accomodation for your guests, and be sure to have well-marked recycling bins. Lots more information is available at the links below, as this is becoming a hot idea internationally. Above all, make it well known that your organization is being environmentally responsible in making its arrangements, and follow through. This could be the best marketing ploy in the history of the planet.
