If you have a green event any collateral materials and/or promotional items need to be green as well. If not you are sending a mix signal. Also, ask yourself, is this conference really necessary, can I reach the same people with a webinar, email, etc.? Conferences are useful but they really do burn through a lot of resources. I agree.

No need to dispose of any cameras and all the harmful chemicals in them, or develop bad pictures that will get thrown away.

My favorite green event planning tip, which I recently posted on my blog, is: Now that summer is here, if sponsoring a business event where ice cream will be served, forgo the cups -- serve cones instead. Every reduction helps. Jennifer Kaplan Partner, Greenhance LLC Nice article.

The definitive book on 'green' to which everyone references has not been written yet. I am still on 'Waldon Pond' and 'sustainable' and looking to secure the meaning of 'renewable' as when referring to solar power, tidal power, hydro-electric power, and wind power, and other folks ar worried about recycled paper napkins - or hemp napkins, or bottled water(urban thing city folks do to tap water to feel exclusive and for convenience at large events?) Heeeeeelp! We need a commonly accepted definition of ‘green’ I get lost sometimes when reading article like this because the premise definitions are obviously different from mine.
