Dear Colleagues,
As we begin planning to attend the annual Academy of Management conference in Atlanta, the Organizations and the Natural Environment (ONE) Greening Team would like to share some tips on "
How to Green Your Conference Experience." We will send these reminders again over the coming months until the conference.
How to Green Your Conference Experience
1. Skip the printed program and use one of the many electronic options available.
2. Become familiar with the "green" features of your hotel and use them. Greening initiatives of the Hyatt Regency, Marriott Marquis, and Hilton Atlanta are available on the conference Housing website.
3. Stay closer to the conference venue to avoid unnecessary travel.
4. Reuse your hotel room towel and bedding.
5. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
6. Turn off lights in your hotel room and unplug appliances or other equipment when not in use.
7. Turn off water while brushing your teeth or washing your face.
8. Adjust your hotel room temperature or turn off the air conditioning when you are not in the room.
9. Locate and use recycling and compost bins throughout the conference venues.
10. Recycle papers, fliers, and handouts (or do not take them at all!).
11. Seek out local, organic, seasonal, vegetarian, and vegan dining options.
12. Bring a reusable water bottle with you.
13. Purchase carbon offsets for your trip.
14. Use MARTA and other public or shared transit options.
15. Rent a bicycle through Atlanta's Relay Bike Share program!
16. Request an alternative fuel or hybrid vehicle taxi and share your ride with others (UberPOOL Atlanta).
17. Encourage others to "green" their conference experience, too!
See you in Atlanta in August!
Best,
Nancy Landrum
