1. Go paperless by using new media and electronic technology. Create a conference website. Offer electronic registration. Advertise through Facebook page or email.
2. Conserve energy. Look for a venue which has individually controlled lighting and air-conditioning in their rooms so these can be switched off when rooms are not in use. Use rooms with natural lighting and ventilation.
3. Save water. Waterless urinals or dual flush toilets reduce water consumption. Choose a venue that has a linen reuse option for towels and bed linen.
4. Reduce your transportation carbon footprint. Choose a venue that is accessible to participants. Car pool. Are alternative means of transport available?
5. Go light on the packaging. Select venues that use bulk dispensers for its shampoo, soap, toilet paper; sugar and cream bowls instead of sachets. Biodegradable food packaging is a must.
6. Eat green. Include vegetarian and organic meals. Plan to use locally grown and sourced ingredients.
7. Share the passion! Tell your participants and speakers about the efforts you are making to green your meeting.
