Planning eco-friendly events is an excellent way to promote sustainability and environmental awareness. That's why at SARAO, we'd like to share some tips for the planning of eco-friendly events:

1.  Establish Clear Objectives:

Let's define our goals for the eco-friendly event. It's essential to ask ourselves what environmental impact we want to reduce or mitigate.

2.  Choose a Sustainable Location:

Selecting a venue with a track record of sustainable practices, such as the use of renewable energy, efficient waste management, and water conservation, is crucial.

3.  Eco-Friendly Design:

Let's use sustainable decoration materials and recyclable furniture, like tables and chairs. Avoid single-use products and opt for items that can be reused in future events.

4.  Waste Management:

Place recycling and composting stations throughout the event and educate attendees on how to properly dispose of their waste. Ensure that waste is responsibly managed.

5.  Select Sustainable Suppliers:

Work with suppliers who share your commitment to sustainability, from food to furniture and decorations. Choose food vendors that use local and organic ingredients to minimize food waste. Offer vegetarian and vegan options.

6.  Education and Awareness:

Take advantage of the event as an opportunity to educate attendees about the importance of sustainability and how they can contribute to a greener world in their daily lives.

7.  Collaborate with Environmental Organizations:

Collaborate with local or national organizations that promote sustainability to gain additional support and advice.
