Have you ever been bothered by any of the following at an event?

  • Guests (and staff) throwing trash into the recycling bins

  • No recycling bins in sight, even though the event is serving bottles, cans, and other recyclables

  • Perfectly edible pans of food being thrown away

  • The default use of plastic and polystyrene serviceware

  • Tons of outdated leftover swag items

  • The sheer volume of waste thrown away at the end of the night

Me too.

That's why I created this course.

I love events, but the excessive waste they often generate makes me feel guilty and uncomfortable. So I created this course to help event professionals understand the simple steps to reducing event waste. Diverting waste from the landfill is not only the green thing to do, but it attracts clients and makes you and your clients look like sustainability rock stars.

Testimonials

What clients say about my educational presentations & courses:

Elizabeth Schuman-Tusch

Excellent and Very Informative Course!

Elizabeth Schuman-Tusch

The course breaks down the entire event process, from pre-event planning to the event itself to post-event reporting, into easy steps. It covered so many aspects that I hadn't even considered that I now know must be thought out in advance to ensure success. The homework assignments after each module were very good practice for the lessons just learned. I'm so glad I took this course and I look forward to putting my new knowledge to work. Thanks, Julia!
