About the carbon impact of this event…
Architecture 2030 and ARCHITECT Magazine recognize that our events have inherent carbon impacts. We are committed to reducing and offsetting the carbon impacts of the CarbonPositive’20 CONFERENCE and EXPO as much as possible.
Travel
Attendee travel to an event can sometimes contribute as much as 70% of the total carbon emissions attributed to the event. Accordingly, we are partnering with CoolEffect for carbon offsets for the transportation of all attendees, speakers, staff and vendors. Offsets will go towards renewable energy projects, primary forest conservation, and reforestation.
Learn more about CoolEffect’s carbon offset projects.
Update: Architecture 2030 and ARCHITECT purchased carbon offsets for an estimated 425 attendees and approximately 332 tonnes of CO2.
Printing
Our event’s mobile app will eliminate the need for nearly all printing. Sponsors will be required to provide web links and other digital resources in lieu of booklets, brochures, cards and other promotional items. Attendees are strongly encouraged to connect via social media in lieu of using printed business cards.
Single-use Products
Reusable cups and silverware will be provided in lieu of single-use bottles and foodware. Attendees, speakers, staff and vendors are encouraged to use their own refillable water containers.
