This episode is a bit of a discovery mission working through the idea of resource management and my experience with post event material disposal.
Have you been stuck with a mountain of wasted brand new materials, furniture, tech, etc. at the end of your events? I have been really frustrated by the lack of consideration for the end of events - don't stop your planning at the closing party. To maximize your sustainability and reducing your waste make a clear plan for every item that you bring onsite, how it will be leaving site! In fact, add a column to your event spreadsheet, next to the shopping and pick lists, add DISPOSAL/RETURN. Indicate what items will be returned and where, what is garbage, what is recycling, what is donation and who is picking it up. In the end you will be able to track and reduce your own waste as well as take credit for all of the landfill diversion, and donations.
