GO GREEN! Use Keypads
A simple glance around the economy
today, into the trends and highlights of the way people are doing
business, will show you that Green is In and the importance of
ethics and sustainability is at an all time high. When it
comes to event planning it’s no different and there are things you
can do to ensure that your event promotion efforts will be green,
sustainable and completely ethical.
Assuming that you’ve attended an
event, conference, trade-show or even silent auction in the last
few years you’ll most likely have no trouble agreeing that events
cause waste and produce a pretty sizable amount of carbon
emissions. This waste comes from the sheer number of paper
products, cans, trash and plastics being thrown away and discarded
throughout the event. Carbon emissions that come from that
trash being sent to landfills as well as the heating, cooling,
lighting and even transportation all add up quickly. Knowing
this, there are a few things you can do during the event planning
stage, to reduce these negative effects and give your event a clean
conscious from start to finish. Here are some of the best
ways:
- Support Environmentally Conscious & Sustainable
Businesses – This might seem obvious, but by supporting
businesses with proper sustainability policies already in place can
help guarantee you’re setting your event off on the right
foot.
- Use Keypads for feedback in stead of
Paper– Using keypads for interaction or event
feedback, will not only reduce the amount of paper required, but
also save you hours of capturing paper-based feedback after the
event by making the results available electronically
immediately.
- Recycle – When the event is over, rather than
just throwing everything away, set up proper recycling
policies.
These are just a few of many other tips that you can
incorporate in your event planning efforts that will help guarantee
that the ethics and sustainability will always remain intact and
your event will maintain the highest standards.
