In addition to providing 100% on-line registration this year, both the ECG and Final Program use Mixed Sources (stamped by FSC) from well-managed forests, controlled sources and recycled wood or fibre.
The CCC is also taking advantage of the award winning MTCC to further green the meeting through the MTCC's:
- Expanded paper recycling;
- Biodegradable dishware;
- Bullfrog Power from renewable energy resources;
- Green roof;
- Food bank donations; and
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems.
