Planning Environmentally Friendly Events

The key to planning an environmentally aware meeting or event is to set environmental priorities early in event planning and incorporate them into as many facets of the event as possible.

EPA has prepared this guide to help meeting and event planners reduce the amount of municipal solid waste generated by their meeting or event. This guide outlines the key steps in planning and conducting an environmentally aware event, profiles a variety of meetings and events, and provides a checklist that can be used as a planning tool.

** Note: (It is important to address public health when planning a food-service component to your environmentally aware meeting or event. Local health departments are able to provide advice and guidance on safe and proper handling of food and drink.)
