It’s Earth Day! To honor our beloved blue planet, Hornblower has put together a short list of tips to help you minimize your carbon footprint and improve overall sustainability at your next event, conference or meeting.

12 Tips to Improve Sustainability at Your Next Event

1. Go paperless by using apps. or providing USB drives with handouts, speaker bios, agendas, and show guides. CrowdCompass mobile apps can help.

2. Design menus around seasonal produce (e.g. Winter, Autumn).

3. Use fair trade coffee, tea, and chocolate.

4. Build relationships with farm-to-table caterers and venues.

5. Incorporate ocean-to-table seafood dining into your events.

6. Provide jugs of water instead of plastic water bottles.

7. Give attendees refillable water bottles and provide filling stations.

8. Ensure that all disposables are sustainable and, if possible, compostable. Eco-kits have compostable plates cups, glasses and cutlery.

9. Serve to go lunches or snacks in re-usable containers or bags. Lunchskins come in a variety of design to fit event themes.

10. Re-cycle paper products, cans, and bottles. In Canada and the European Union, curb side recycling is mandatory in all major municipalities.

11. Put out bins to make it easy for attendees to discard, paper, cans, food, and garbage separately. Check out the Mobius 4 compartment recycling bin.

12. Put out receptacles to encourage attendees to recycle badges holders and name tags.
