Carbon Neutral
Hosting large functions such as conferences and weddings can surprisingly have a lot of unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions when you consider the electricity, heating or air conditioning needed for your venue – not to mention the travel needed to get your guests to the event or the energy used in creating the materials used at your function. Luckily there are numerous ways in which event organizers can choose to host a low or even a carbon neutral event.
Some climate friendly solutions can include reducing waste and purchasing carbon offsets to choosing energy efficient/LEED certified venues or clean energy for your special occasion. Other carbon-friendly solutions can be simply choosing local and sustainable food and beverage choices to avoid an unnecessary carbon footprint while supporting efforts in your local community that are often fresher and higher quality. Choosing to carbon offset your event can help make your event less impactful on the planet.
