Sustainable Events at CSUMB

There are many different ways to incorporate sustainable practices when planning out events. The Sustainable Events Blueprint details how you can integrate sustainability in 3 simple steps. Following the completion of these steps you will receive a sustainability score for your event.

Step 1. Review the Sustainable Events Blueprint (below). The Blueprint includes the checklist question and provides resources. Reviewing these in advance with the team planning the event will help you identify steps to take to ensure your event is sustainable and inclusive.
Step 2. Complete the Sustainability Pre-Event Checklist (SEB-C) to get your Event Sustainability Score.
Step 3. Review your score and integrate it into the messaging and communication of your event.

Floral and Plamt Deliveries:

Floral and plant deliveries to campus are welcome; however, we strongly encourage sending potted plants instead of cut flowers. Plants are a more sustainable option and provide lasting enjoyment beyond the initial delivery. Please note that balloons, glitter, and confetti are not permitted on campus and should not accompany any deliveries. Thank you for helping us maintain a clean and environmentally responsible community.
