You can minimize the impact of conferences through limited consumption of energy and resources. On October 14th, the CDC hosted its 2010 Sustainability forum on “How to Plan a Green and Healthy Conference”. A panel of experts weighed in on how to choose healthy foods for conferences and how to incorporate exercise/ wellness into meeting agendas. By scheduling breaks for physical activity, providing healthy snacks, and locating meetings in central locations you promote a healthier, happier conference setting. A representative of a major hotel and conference chain provided information on green conference locations. Although hosting an entirely sustainable meeting may seem daunting, implementing just a few environmentally friendly practices can make a positive impact.
