More Ideas for Greening Your Meeting
• Use white boards instead of paper flip charts.
• Email handouts electronically instead of printing out hard copies. If you must provide hard copies, consider reducing the margins, font size and printing double-sided on recycled paper.
• Let the Catering Manager know at what temperature you would like the meeting room maintained; heating/cooling will be adjusted after the meeting is finished.
• Send all flight schedules to the meeting attendees and encourage carpooling, or utilize our Travel Services Group to schedule flights and ground transportation.
• Carbon offset your meeting. Offsetting your carbon footprint will support greenhouse gas-reduction projects and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Please ask your Catering Manager for further details.
