Going Green
Here are some of the ways Coastal Zone 09 organizers are “going green” by implementing environmentally friendly practices.
Conference Registration and Program
- Program and other handouts printed on recycled paper
- Reduction in the amount of paper used:
- All handouts duplexed
- Conference proceedings produced on flash drives
- Participant name pouches designed to be reusable with no logo
Hotel and Catering Services
- Location offers convenient access to public transportation
- Hotel housekeeping asks if you would like your sheets and towels replaced daily
- Recycling bins provided in conference areas
- No plastic used in catering services
- No plastic water bottles; water pitchers with glasses or water jugs with paper recyclable cups provided
- All excess food taken nightly to a local soup kitchen
