Environmental sustainability is one of the fundamental values of the Better World by Design community. We design the conference in order to provide maximum value to our attendees‚ with amazing speakers and panelists, terrific workshops and tours, quality connections with other attendees, fun social events, and delicious food‚ while minimizing our carbon footprint.
In 2011, we are moving towards eliminating waste from the conference. We’re beginning with our food system: this year’s daytime food events will be zero-waste events. What do we mean by “zero waste”? Our food system is now completely designed around local food and composting. Any pre-consumer and post-consumer byproducts will be composted. By approaching the food system not just as linear relation from producer to consumer, but instead as a cradle-to-cradle cycle, we hope to show our attendees one key element of a better world.
Please bring your own water bottles and mugs. Disposable beverage containers will not be provided at the conference, except as available for purchase.
