Host a Green Event

#HATFIELDECOCHALLENGE

This month, the Hatfield Green Team's EcoChallenge focuses on how to host a green event.

Are you planning a meeting, conference, or social events on or off campus? Check out the Green Team's new Tip Sheet and get ideas about how to reduce food waste and use less single-use plastic. The tip sheet has lots of ideas but you certainly don't have to do everything all at once! Start by picking just a few ideas to implement. Once the green practice becomes second nature, you can move on to incorporating new practices at your next event!

If you're on social media, share your actions using #HatfieldEcoChallenge
