In the spirit of decreasing the “footprint” of the conference, Sustainable Enterprise 2008 is taking a number of steps to model green event production practices...
- choosing a venue that is pioneering sustainable design & philosophy and that features energy produced from solar power
- maximizing electronic communication and limiting print material
- printing our conference program on 100% recycled paper using soy-based inks
- offering a local and sustainable/organic lunch, beverages and snacks
- providing filtered water from bulk dispensers
- using ceramic vs disposable dish ware
- collaborating with the Marin Conservation Corps to maximize waste diversion through recycling and composting on conference day
- sourcing local vendors for conference logistics
- decorating with living plants that will be donated to an educational community farm post event
- calculating our carbon impact and offsetting it by making a corresponding donation to a local creek restoration group
...stay tuned for updates on our efforts.
