Did you know it's national meetings week?

Apparently this week is national meetings week (NMW) and this year the focus is on holding green meetings. The NMW website's definition of a green meeting is "a meeting that incorporates environmental considerations throughout all stages of the meeting in order to minimise the negative impact on the environment."
The site offers some tips on how you can make meetings green. They include:
- if you have to print an agenda try and print on both sides and then recycle by putting the paper in the fax machine
- find meeting venues that are as close to as many delegates as possible, reducing emissions from cars.
So here are a few of mine:
- Question whether the meeting is really necessary. Be clear on its purpose and what it's expected to achieve.
- Have an audio conference instead of a "face to face" meeting.
- You could set-up a workspace enabling you to store you documents on-line, so you and your team can have access to them wherever you are. Saves un-necessary printed copies.
