Going green is everywhere you turn. Especially in the Meetings and Special Events industry but what is a Green meeting and how green do you go?
There is a trend creating and implementing greener business environments and we are seeing this reflected in the travel and meetings industry. When most people think of being “green“; or environmentally sensitive, recycling immediately comes to mind.
A green meeting goes beyond recycling. “Greening“ a meeting or event is a strategic method in implementing best green practices into our logistical planning process. It incorporates environmental considerations throughout all stages of the meeting in order to minimize the negative impact of the environment. Words like global warming often ignite a passion but many times we are left wondering what practical steps we can take to do our part in a realistic nature to make a difference in our daily lives. This includes our respective meeting planning profession as well.
