Re: Environmental footprint of a conference

A little out of your neighborhood... I was formerly involved with a conference of 4000. We hired the Leonardo Academy (http://www.leonardoacademy.org/) to calculate the amount of offsets needed to make the event CO2-neutral. Not being directly involved in that aspect, I do not know the cost or specific methodology. Good luck.

Re: Case Studies/Success Stories Reducing Lawns

Nancy - try almost any water district in southernmost CA - irvine ranch, indian wells, twenty nine palms, coachella valley. That area has been particularly successful with native plantings vice sod lawns - code requirements in many places. There are a lot of on line resources. Irvine ranch and coachella valley have speakers bureaus - there should be a human to talk to.

Re: Giving Back Yard Waste - For Free

Interestingly, in Oakland, CA and environs, the compost is sold back. The waste company cannot keep up with demand. Organic waste segregation was widely accepted from inception.
In Virgina, near Washington, DC, there are no similar programs - yet. A city is about to start a pilot to test the potential. Being a fairly large and somewhat diverse country, there is no way to know if the program will have as much success in the East as in CA. There are other confounding factors such as weather. Waste may freeze in the winter, and potentially smell more in the summer. It will be interesting to follow the results.
