Considering the Conference Footprint

In the spirit of decreasing the “footprint” of the conference, Sustainable Enterprise 2010 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 recycled paper using soy-based inks
• offering a local and sustainable/organic lunch, beverages and snacks
• encouraging ride sharing from PickUpPal
• providing filtered water from bulk dispensers
• using ceramic vs disposable dish ware
• collaborating with the Conservation Corps of the North Bay 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 350 Garden Challenge a county-wide project to save water and improve access to healthy, fresh local food
• calculating our carbon impact and offsetting it by making a corresponding donation to a local creek restoration group
