Greening the Expo
In keeping with the goals of EPA's P3 program, the National Sustainable Design Expo strives to follow environmentally sustainable practices. Here's what we are doing today:
- Use nondisposable rental equipment
- Generate electricity from a renewable resource (biodiesel fuel)
- Turn off equipment when not in use
- Support green companies through environmentally preferable purchasing
- Locate the event in an area accessible by public transportation
- Provide bike parking
- Minimize use of commercial plastic water bottles
- Recycle paper, aluminum, and plastic
- Provide composting of organic waste
- Promote the event and communicate with stakeholders electronically whenever possible
- Provide resource protection for the National Mall
- Use 100% post-consumer recycled paper for event literature
- Print event literature double sided
- Design reusable banners and signage
- Use recycled glass for P3 Awards
- Use frames made of recycled wood for P3 Award certificates
- Distribute lanyards made from recycled materials
- Recycle plastic name tag holders
