MeetingsNet presents Green Power: Cost-Effective Ways to Reduce Your Meetings’ Carbon Footprint.
Going for greener meetings is a hot topic, but there are still only a handful of meeting professionals who are actually taking cost-effective steps to make their events environmentally friendly. Everyone in the meetings industry can learn from the green initiatives of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which has been greening its meeting for many years; and the organizer of The Green Exposition, who is working with the city of Chicago and a number of associations to produce a green procurement exposition and conference in in Chicago.
