GO GREEN!

“Go Green” is the new campaign name seen and heard around the country as a better effort to promote less waste and an emphasis on recycling. California and especially in the Bay Area efforts have been especially high and expected at almost every establishment you visit. I have noticed signs everywhere to encourage GREEN efforts such the gym, restaurants, grocery stores, and even shopping malls. The obvious would be to use less paper products, less towels, and to recycle when possible!



Now more than ever, I have seen many corporate meeting and event planners asking me “Are you Green?” Yes, the City Club does promote going green and we do support ways to do so. The biggest way to go green at luncheons and meetings is to eliminate bottled water. Pitchers of Ice Water versus bottled water have been in high demand for corporate meetings in an effort to recognize their corporate “Green” efforts. I have seen meetings use less paper handouts, and use more audio visual ways of communicating their message & program.

Be conscious of the environment and Go Green! For more information please visit http://www.globalgreen.org/ for ways you can become more green.
