NSTA Conferences Go Green! The National Science Teachers Association is committed to meeting today’s environmental challenges by adopting eco-friendly practices both in our own day-to-day operations and at our conferences, workshops, and other events. In addition, we strongly encourage our contracted conference facilities to follow green practices as well. Here are some of the ways NSTA’s conference department has worked to minimize our impact on the environment: Conference Previews Gone are the days of bulky, newspaper-style advance programs. Brief conference previews allow us to be more focused in our conference content, since each preview is specific to a particular conference. As an added bonus, they are more environmentally friendly, as they dramatically reduce both our print and mailing requirements. Online Conference Information and Personal Scheduler Most of your conference arrangements can now be accomplished online (www.nsta.org/conferences). Register and make your housing reservations on the web. Program details are available to you on our website using the Session Browser/Personal Scheduler. Scheduling information on our website is up to date and more complete than that available through a printed piece. Final Conference Programs by E-Mail Conference registrants are now given the option of receiving an electronic version (PDF) of the final conference program by e-mail approximately two weeks prior to the conference, further reducing print and shipping requirements. Recycled Paper and Sustainable Print Services Conference previews and final conference programs are now printed on recycled paper. In addition, Walsworth Print Group, the printer for our conference materials, is in strict compliance with all environmental laws and exceeds these standards in many areas. Wherever possible, Walsworth Print Group works to reduce and recycle waste, use reduced or low-VOC chemicals, increase the recycled content of raw materials, and use soy- and/or vegetable-based inks. Walsworth Print Group has also obtained chain-of-custody certification for paper products to ensure they are being harvested from environmentally responsible sources. Environmentally Friendly Exhibition Practices Our conference partner, Hargrove, Inc., offers many green product options and services in the production of our conference exhibitions, including 100% recyclable carpet and padding, recycled exhibit structures, a “reclaimer” that recycles 92% of all solvents the company uses in production of graphics, use of LP natural gas in 75–90% of show-site vehicles, and many biodegradable and recycled products such as trash bags and wastebaskets. Their green efforts are extended operationally with reductions in electricity, heating fuel, and water usage, as well as a move to 100% recyclable and biodegradable products. Georgia World Congress Center’s Green Efforts The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) assists in reducing the environmental impact of meetings with an in-house sustainability coordinator and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional, a committed operations team, and by offering the services below. The GWCC is also a member of the Green Meetings Industry Council and the U.S. Green Building Council, and is registered with the LEED for Existing Buildings rating system. • Item-specific recycling containers are placed around exhibit halls to collect corrugated cardboard, plastic film/wrap/visquine, and other recyclable materials. Wood pallets are recycled and durable goods, supplies, materials, scrap metals, and even carpet can be donated to local organizations for reuse or recycling. • Blue recycling containers are located throughout GWCC to encourage recycling of plastic bottles and containers (#1–7), glass bottles, aluminum, clean mixed paper, and cardboard. • Kitchen food waste is regularly composted; food services use compostable cups, utensils, napkins, and plates; and excess preconsumer food is donated to a local shelter or organization. • Each of the 106 meeting rooms has a spring water cooler with compostable cups. • Clients are encourage to utilize GWCC’s large digital signage displays rather than printing banners/signage. • Recycled content paper is used for paper towels, toilet tissue, office paper, and collateral. • CO 2 sensors are installed in each exhibit hall • Lighting and HVAC in the exhibit halls are minimized during move-in and move-out “Go Green” at the Atlanta Conference! • Recycle your conference programs in the clearly marked recycle bins located throughout the Convention Center. • Recycle or reuse your plastic badge holders—you can either turn them in at the NSTA Registration Counter or use them at future conferences. • In advance of the conference, presenters are encouraged to post their presentations and handouts on the Session Browser/Personal Scheduler. • If you prefer to bring handouts to your session, use doublesided printing and/or recycled paper. • Walk or use public transportation when possible at the conference. • Bring your own refillable water bottle to the conference. • Evaluate sessions attended via your smartphone or online. 8 NSTA Atlanta Area Conference on Science Education
