Is Your Trade Show Saving Water?
With the recent crisis occurring in the Gulf of Mexico with the BP oil spill disaster, it is tough to make it through an entire conversation without that becoming a topic of interest to most anyone that is up on the news. This made me think of what trade shows and conventions think of the spill and what they are doing when someone asks them about their water conservation. It made me think back to the Tools of the TRADEshow newsletter and a tips and tricks article on how to conserve water. I tend to keep everything and the newsletter is a great source of info.
The newsletter article mentioned a tip that resonated with me being from Colorado and how we sometimes get into conditions of drought. We often go into a plan B way of dealing with water conservation here, like lawn watering conservation and landscaping tactics to conserve water. Businesses also get into the swing with conserving water by doing things a little different. Is your trade show conserving water? Here is a tip that I saw in the newsletter that I thought was a simple way to contribute to water conservation.
Serve water at meals only by request, rather than pre-filling hundreds of glasses. Meeting Strategies Worldwide estimates that if you avoid pre-filling water glasses at banquet lunches for 2,200 people for three days, you can save 520 gallons of water!
That sounds like not a lot of water but it can mean a small contribution to the water supply, and if we all did a little something to help conserve water, we would be doing our part for the environment and the event industry! If you want to get more tips like this from the Conventions.net newsletter, I suggest you go to the Conventions.net site and enter your info in the eNewsletter signup to receive it via email. It takes only a short time and you can get many tips and articles about how your can make your event or trade show and convention a better experience for all.
