How can I promote sustainability during my ACS event?
WHY IT MATTERS:
Reduced Resource Usage:
By conserving water, energy, and materials, we ensure these vital resources are available for future generations. As stewards, it’s our responsibility to use these resources wisely.
Less Chemical Usage and Waste Generation:
Minimizing the use of harmful products helps protect our ecosystems. By being conscious consumers, we can reduce pollution and promote healthier communities.
Decreased Pollution:
Adopting sustainable practices reduces pollution in our air and water, contributing to a cleaner environment. As stewards, we have a duty to safeguard the natural world for all living beings.
Better Personal Health:
Engaging in sustainability can lead to healthier living spaces and improved well-being. By reducing exposure to toxins and promoting a cleaner environment, we create a healthier future for ourselves and our communities.
STEPS I CAN TAKE:
1 Bring Your Own Reusable Items
- Bring your own reusable water bottle to avoid single-use plastic.
- Bring your own coffee mug to reduce waste from disposable cups.
2 Go Digital
- Access meeting materials on your devices instead of printing them out.
3 Track You Emissions
- Use tools like My Event Footprint to monitor and reduce your travel emissions.
4 Be Mindful of Food Choices
- Opt for vegetarian or vegan options when available to reduce environmental impact and promote healthier eating.
- Only take what you will eat to minimize food waste.
5 Conserve Resources
- Turn off lights and electronics when leaving your hotel room.
- Use towels and linens more than once during your stay.
- Decline housekeeping services during your stay.
6 Participate in Recycling
- Dispose of waste properly by using recycling bins for appropriate materials.
- Recycle your room key at the end of your stay.
7 Choose Sustainable Transportation
- If traveling to the venue, consider carpooling, using public transport, or opting for shared rides.
8 Carbon Footprint Awareness
- Air travel accounts for about 85% of an event's carbon footprint. To reduce your impact, consider these best practices when traveling:
- Choose Direct Flights: They produce fewer emissions.
- Fly Economy Class: More passengers help spread emissions.
- Offset Your Carbon Emissions: Support projects like reforestation.
- Pack Light: Lighter luggage saves fuel.
- Use Public Transportation: It lowers emissions to and from the airport.
- Consider Trains or Buses: For shorter distances, these are often more eco-friendly.
- Bring Your Own Reusable Items: Use reusable water bottles, utensils, and bags to cut waste.
- Minimize In-Flight Waste: Avoid single-use items and dispose of waste properly.
