The Co-operators released a guide to help organizations and people reduce the impact that meetings, conferences and trade shows have on the environment.
More than 80 million people around the world attend a meeting, conference or trade show every year, with the average meeting producing 20 pounds of garbage per person each day, according to the United Nations Environment Program.
‘The Guide to Sustainable Meetings’ is designed to be a resource for conscientious organizers of all types of gathering.
From everyday staff meetings to large conferences, sustainability should be taken into account at every stage of planning and the guide is full of tips, case studies and resources, a Co-operators’ release says.
It is designed to be as interactive as possible, with checklists and questionnaires available in a fillable PDF that can be saved directly onto the computer, reducing the need for printing.
