Greening & Sustainability

Want a greener Annual Meeting? Follow these guidelines:

• Opt for Low Carbon Travel: Switch off appliances before leaving, prefer eco-friendly travel choices, use paperless boarding passes, pack lighter.

• Transport: Use public transit, walk, bike, or hire hybrid or electric vehicles

• Use Reusable Containers: Bring a BPA-free beverage container and refillable travel-sized amenity bottles.

• Hotel Conservation Choices: Switch off lights, heating/cooling when not in the room, participate in towel/linen reuse programs, and reduce shower time.

• Waste: Dispose of it responsibly using the correct bins

• Diet: Try a veggie meal; and tea over coffee.

• Carbon Offset: Calculate and pay the offset of your emissions at the website of your choosing.

Our Annual Meeting is becoming Greener! Here's how:

• Sourcing from sustainable suppliers, with strong emphasis on the host hotel's or convention center's greening and sustainability initiatives during the selection phase.

• Shifting towards fully electronic communications via the PS mobile app and emails.
  

• Moving away from printed abstract books and tote bags.

• Using recyclable and biodegradable name badges. 

• Providing water refill stations and compostable cups. 

• Encouraging the venue to recycle all post-meeting signage, badges, and materials by providing recycling bins and lanyard returns throughout the venue.
