Choose a venue that uses renewable energy or efficient energy devices for their lighting and heating.

Some venues offer free bike stands outside their buildings to encourage people to cycle instead of taking a car. However, if cars are unavoidable, why not urge people to take a car share in order to reduce the impact on resources?

Rather than handing out paper materials, leaflets, or receipts, send out information digitally via email or social media platforms.

Asking people to bring their own resources to an event is a great way to minimize consumption costs as well as the impact on the environment. Also, if there is any leftover food, people can take it home in their own lunch boxes.

All food that is biodegradable should be composted rather than just put in the bin. This will reduce the waste going to landfill unnecessarily.
