69: Creating Earthy-Friendly Eating Experiences

Would you have ever thought that the food and beverage ordered for your event could impact the environment? When I first became a planner 30 years ago...no way. It never crossed my mind nor was it discussed by my bosses. Earth Day, first celebrated in 1970 to raise awareness about environmental issues, prompted the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that same year. Twenty years later, Earth Day was a global event celebrated by more than 140 countries. Today, more than 75,000 partners in over 190 countries work together to drive positive action for our planet. In this episode of Eating at a Meeting, Tracy chats with speaker, writer and sustainability consultant Chance Thompson of VIRIDESCENT who will share how #meetingprofs and #eventprofs can join the movement and be sustainability champions for people and the planet.
