The Green Meetings page on the EPA's site has worked with the Oceans Blue Foundation to set up a Green Meetings Tool you can use to chart your course. I love the site's 10 Easy Tips--especially tips 1 and 10:
1. Put it in writing. Establish an environmental statement or policy for the meeting, and get buy in for it from the meeting host organization's management. Share the policy with suppliers, delegates and speakers. You'll be amazed at how far they'll go to help you make your event BlueGreen. Click here for a sample (DOC file).
10. Spread the word! Tell delegates, speakers and the media about your success. You'll be surprised - BlueGreen efforts are contagious.
How true. I am convinced that sharing ideas and success is the key to creating sucessful (and talked-about) green events.
