Attendees were encouraged to offset their convention travel with carbon credits and were given the link to a carbon offset calculator on the internet.
Meals were made of locally grown ingredients, reducing the environmental impact.
They staffed the convention floor with nearly 950 volunteers to make sure attendees tossed their trash and recyclables responsibly. Can you say ‘trash police?’
The wooden keycards (shown above) turned out to be the biggest joke of the entire convention! They replaced the standard hotel-issue plastic cards. Problem was, they splintered easily making them difficult if not impossible to use. It would take more than the proverbial knock on wood for luck when it came to those forgettable cards.
And how about the billboard near Denver that reportedly asked the public to save water by wearing their underwear for four days in a row: “forwards one day, backwards the next, then inside out for two more.” Maybe that’s the change they could believe in (pun intended). Wearing underwear inside out indeed!
They did stop short of staffing the rest rooms with TP police to make sure patrons didn’t use too much toilet paper.
