My favorite one tip number one is to eliminate single-use water bottles And eliminate pre-filling water glasses at your banquet tables Just get rid of it have lots of great jugs on hand for people who need water But try not to waste all that water and pour it down the drain at the end of your banquets Tip number two the trendy thing this year is getting rid of single-use straws and other single-use plastics So let's get straws right out of our vents together. We never really use them anyway So let's just eliminate those single-use straws Tip number three, especially in the spring Let's find some fresh florals that we can use as our centerpieces Those same centerpieces can then go to the women's shelter after your event or potentially even home with your delegates But let's get some fresh florals into our event spaces Tip number four, let's eliminate our bagged lunches There is so much packaging and single-use packaging that goes into bagged lunches Let's reduce that all together and go back to providing easier options on the buffet lines and Finally, let's start using mobile apps at all of our events And if you need recommendations of mobile app firms that can do a great job with your budget in mind Reach out to me. I will point you in the right direction But let's eliminate those conference binders print it out presentations even those post breakout session surveys Let's put it all on that mobile app For more meeting planning inspiration check out my meeting planning category over at liankulderwood.com And I hope this has inspired you on this Tuesday to incorporate some sustainability practices into your next meeting Till next week.
