Environmental Meeting Commitment

SACNAS is committed to minimizing the environmental impacts of our annual national meeting. This year we have greatly expanded our previous green conference efforts. From using ecological alternatives for conference supplies to creating an extensive carbon offset program, we have stepped up our green procedures. SACNAS is pleased to be working with Salt Lake City and all of our conference vendors towards this goal and we invite all conference participants to take an active role in making the SACNAS conference a green event.

For information on how the city of Salt Lake and the Salt Palace Convention Center are helping lead the way in ecological planning, we invite you to view the following websites:

• Salt Lake City Green - city-wide environmental program initiated by Mayor Anderson's office in 2001
• Salt Palace Convention Center - environmental policies and "silver" LEED green building rating information

Please view the Environmental Protection Agency Green Meetings website for an overview of national intiatives supporting green conferences. To learn more about what you can do, check out the Green Hotels Association's Green Travel Tips.

View the SACNAS Green website to learn more about our efforts and how you can become a green conference participant.
