@sportsalliance@NBA@UNFCCC@GreenSportsBlog The NBA has lots of fans that they influence and this helps everyone realize how serious it is to do your part in the Climate Action movement. Keep up the good work and spreading the word.

Ween your show attendees off all printed materials then once you go all digital on attendee materials then go to work on your exhibitors to offer them ways to provide info to attendees by digital ways. Imagine a paperless show!!! #expochat
Also the Plastics Expo show in Orlando used the cardboard structures in their lobbies because they really care about trying to reduce the waste footprint of their show. #expochat
At IMEX this year the Freeman Booth was made of 100% high quality paper booth structure and on many show they are now using them - like NRF show in NYC show all their pods were made of high quality cardboard. #expochat
I predict that in 5 years many of the things we are working or stressing about that are bad for our earth are going to be replaced with standard industry eco friendly materials and resources. #expochat
Yes —. Several of the GSC’s are selling sustainability services as our company policy and are just offering good earth friendly product as the default or standard. #expochat
Also some clients are putting info in the lobby of the show to tell their Stiry of all the good things all the vendors in collaboration with show organizer. #expochat
Some of the hotel venues are starting to charge by weight and not dumpsters used. Be careful to check when signing a contract to see tha hidden cost for recycling. #expochat
