Top 12 Green Practices to Ask For

The MeetGreen Conference Management Team recently voted on their favorite green practices to ask for when planning a conference or event. I am sure they won't mind if I share, so here are their top 12 "asks:"

• Ask for recycling at the facility
• Ask for a towel and linen reuse program
• Ask for no bottled water to be served
  
• Ask for bulk condiments and beverages
• Ask for excess food to be donated
• Ask for banquet water glasses not to be pre-filled
  
• Ask for use of china and linens; no disposables
• Ask if the venue has electronic signage
• Ask about sustainable, local food
• Ask for signs to be made of a sustainable material
• Ask for recycled content paper for printing or ask for no printing at all
• Ask client to communicate sustainability efforts and options to attendees.
