Nowadays, organizers can plan events differently by going green. This not only entails a different ambience for your event but also helps organizers in contributing towards the green movement. Going green not only reduces environmental burdens but also helps achieve a sustainable balance in the economy. Planning for a green event only requires organizers to change the accommodations in a way that is supportive to the environment. Here are some of the steps that organizers can follow to considerably reduce the carbon footprints and emission of green house gases.
Minimizing Emission by Choosing Accessible Venue
For hosting a green event organizers must choose a venue that is easily commutable not only by flight but also public transport. This prevents excessive emission of green house gases. A venue with a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifications and energy efficient services is also an ideal one. In addition, your venue must also have naturally lit meeting spaces.
Usage of Environment Friendly Material
While organizing your event you will also need to make arrangements for other stuffs like sitting arrangements, plates, glasses etc. If you are planning to go green then instead of purchasing common materials you can purchase recyclable materials which can be used time and again. For instance, if you use towels and linens in place of paper tissues, you can re-wash it and keep it for future use. Similarly, instead of paper or plastic glasses you are using earthenware glasses then you can reduce much of environmental burden. You can also resort to composting your food waste which will lead to reduced emission of methane gas.
Resorting to Paperless Registration
There was a time when event registration meant printing paper forms and recruiting staff for distributing them. This not only involved substantial cost in printing and postage but also led to considerable paper wastage. In recent times, the introduction of various Cloud-based software products have significantly assisted organizers to ease out the registration process by implementing ways that eliminates paper usage. Organizers only need to subscribe to a Cloud based interface which supports an online registration system to automate the entire process of creation, submission and processing of registration forms. As no paper usage is involved so it is considered to be a much more environment friendly approach.
Adopting Innovative Promotional Means
Promotional activities are crucial to the success of any event. Until recently, promotional activities solely meant printed forms of advertisements like leaflets, pamphlets, and newspaper and magazine promos. This not only led to increased paper wastage but also led to environmental pollution as they could not be easily disposed of. Instead, you can go green by resorting to any of the Cloud based interfaces that allows carrying out promotional activities via social media platforms and via email campaigns. This not only reduces your substantial cost but also helps you to convey your message to hundreds of users without much effort.

These are some of the steps which you can follow if you are planning to go green for your next event.
