What Is A “Green Meeting”?
A green meeting or event is identified as one that incorporates environmental considerations to minimize its negative impact on the environment.
Green conventions or meetings are conducted in ways to minimize the environmental burdens imposed by such activities. Green meeting and event planners, like Kellen, apply environmentally-friendly practices to all aspects of conferences and events, including site selection, resource and energy use, waste management, travel and local transportation, food provision and disposal, as well as management and purchasing decisions.
