Going “green” is the new trend almost everywhere, even in
the world of event planning. It’s
becoming so popular that it’s starting to be called a lifestyle instead of a
trend because it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
If you’re wondering how you can help the environment while
making your event as environmental friendly as possible, here are a few things
you can incorporate into your event:
· Include
organic food in your menu
· Make
invitations out of recycled paper
· Supply
eco-friendly wines
· Make
sure to buy flowers that are free of pesticides
· For
party favors, include a jar that’s available for people to donate to your
favorite charity
However, if you are looking to plan a “green” corporate
event, there are many options to help with that as well. GREEN EVENTS SOURCE is a website just for
that. They have a program for event
planners that is designed to take the guesswork out of greening meetings, conferences
and special events. They do this
through:
· Targeted
Training and Education Programs: They
train your staff, attendees, members, management, exhibitors and others about
various aspects of green events or to help design a custom training program to
specifically meet your needs.
· Consulting

establish a plan to green your meetings and events, or even help you develop
and implement an organization-wide initiative.

friendly for the environment, there are countless tools and resources available
online just for that. I decided to
discuss a couple of my favorites. I hope
they help!
