Climate Conscious Actions

​The Australasian Land and Groundwater conference aims to be the most sustainable conference possible.

​

Actions have been put in place to better respect our environment during the conference. We strongly encourage our delegates, visitors, exhibitors and sponsors to adopt the following actions wherever possible:

  • No single-use plastic

  • Extra bins available for different waste purposes: general waste, compost, recycling

  • Bring your reusable water bottle – water stations will be available to fill them up

  • Carpooling – we strongly encourage you to travel to the conference with a group of your peers or use 1 Uber/Taxi for a few people instead of travelling on your own (and share the fun)

  • We will have options for vegetarians and vegans – make sure you add your dietary requirement while you are registering

  • No printed program, the program will be available online only via QR Code

  • Virtual Satchel

  • The most carbon-neutral booth will be elected and announced at the Conference Dinner

  • We strongly encourage our exhibitors to provide sustainable goodies

 

More actions to come!
