Go Green
As a participant of the 36th Florida Master Gardener Continued Training Conference, you have the opportunity to play a vital role in making our event sustainable. Below is a list of suggested actions that you can take to help make the Florida Master Gardener Conference green:
Travel to and from the conference:
- Book your travel via the most direct route possible as multiple take-offs and landings cause substantial increases in emissions
- Utilize shuttle services from the airport to your accommodations to reduce GHG emissions
At the conference:
- Recycle your bottles, cans and paper at recycling stations throughout the conference When printing or copying materials, make sure to print double-sided versions
- Bring your own reusable mug, water bottle, pen, pencil and paper
- Collect business cards of presenters and have them e-mail reports and other information rather than collecting printed hand-outs
In your hotel room:
- Turn off any lights, TV, air conditioner or heaters when you leave your hotel room for the day to decrease energy consumption
- If your accommodation offers this service, take the option of not having sheets and towels changed every day to reduce consumption of energy, water and soap
