If you concerned like we are about the amount of trash created and recycled at events then you may be interested to join the GMIC Trash challenge.
http://www.greenmeetings.info/trashchallenge/challenge.html
The Million Tons of Trash Challenge was conceived by leaders and members of the Green Meetings Industry Council during the 2009 Action=Sustainability Conference. The purpose of the Challenge is to build momentum and awareness toward the ultimate goal of reducing the environmental footprint of meetings and events, thereby building a more sustainable industry.
