We understand that event organisers and venue managers would like to reduce their impacts on the environment and go green, but they are not sure how to start.

We have teamed up with ECO Singapore to produce the Green Events Guide. This Green Events Guide aims to provide a framework of principles and practical tips on how event and venue managers can start creating greener events by identifying and reducing the various environmental impacts in its process.

If you are organising an event or managing a venue for an event, we hope that you will take the first step in making the event green. The tips in the guide are not exhaustive but the more tips you implement, the greener is your event.

The following key areas are considered for a green event and are discussed in the Green Events Guide:

• Venue and Transport
• Food and Catering
• Energy and Water
• Materials and Waste

A six-step plan is proposed to help you increase awareness and knowledge about the environment, and to take action to improve and protect the environment, thus creating a green future.

The six steps include:

1. Respect all life and renew your bond with nature and its biodiversity (Self)
2. Improve your environmental awareness and knowledge (Self)
3. Practise the 3 “Rs” – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (Self)
4. Spread the environmental message and influence others (Family/Friends/School/Work/Group)
5. Support local environmental initiatives and groups (Community/Local Environment)
6. Use your rights as citizens and consumers (Community/Local Environment)

The steps begin with first developing your “Self” by respecting and renewing your relationship with nature and its biodiversity, improving on your understanding of environmental issues and knowledge, and taking personal actions to reduce wastage and overconsumption.

Next, move on to influence your “Family/Friends/School/Work/Group” by spreading the environmental message to others such as family members, friends and colleagues, and convincing organisations that you belong to, such as schools, companies, religious or social groups, to be environmentally friendly.

Lastly, go one step further to shape your “Community/Local Environment” through supporting environmental initiatives by the government and environmental groups, volunteering or participating in activities organised by the groups, and exercising your rights as citizens and consumers to influence the status quo on the environment.

You can follow the six steps or choose a few steps to do something for the environment. The steps are not complete and are only a guide to help you make the first move.
