Sustainability at Your Events

Sustainability at events is a hot topic at the moment. The larger events and venues may have the means and the wherewithal to reduce their carbon footprint.

For individuals hosting their own events, the carbon footprint can be reduced also. It requires a conscious effort of your part when planning your events. Here are some ideas for smaller events:

• Use reusable cutlery, cups, plates and glasses instead of disposables. These items can be purchased in bulk or rented;

• If you're using any materials or decorations for your events, see that they are from sustainable sources;

• Use soft copies of documents instead of paper;

• Consider virtual events instead of a venue, if possible;

• If you use a venue, check how 'green' it is before hiring it;

• If using a venue, try only inviting local people, so they don't have to travel far and live stream the event to your audience who are further afield;

• Use venues that have good public transport links;

• If possible, power any equipment you use from renewable sources;

• If providing any food or using a caterer, check their 'green' credentials;

• Minimize water and food waste.

Sustainability is something we should all think about and do whatever little we can. It all helps.
