EVENT SUSTAINABILITY
In 2024, the AMERSA Climate Task Force is focused on improving the climate impact of our Annual Meeting by:
- Providing access to the conference materials and program through the conference app and QR codes during the meeting, and providing paper packets of conference materials only by request (and for a fee to offset waste, cost and effort to produce packets) Note: For the 2023 Annual meeting, approximately 14,000 pages were printed for members!
- Educating members about the climate impact of various methods of travel to the Annual Meeting in Chicago, and helping them to choose between options (e.g., between air travel and train)
- Providing step-by-step instructions to help members use public transportation to get to the conference hotel after arriving in Chicago
- Increasing offering of vegetarian and vegan meal options at the conference (reducing consumption of meat has the biggest impact on improving the climate impact of food consumption—even more than eating locally-sourced foods)
- Offering members tips about how to improve their climate impact during their time at the Annual meeting (e.g., turning off heating/cooling system and lights when they are away from their hotel room; bringing a refillable water bottle or cup with them)
- Eliminating the use of plastic cups and water bottles by the conference hotel
- Offering online maps to walking routes near the conference hotel, and locations of bicycles for rent
