In this episode, despite my victorious comments, I have not mastered the audio problems. You can tell I go straight back to pounding the pavement by the end.

In the bulk of the episode you'll hear about what kind of oversight and intervention will eventually creep into your events. Your decision is whether to be prepared and have the changes roll off you like water off a duck's back or wait and gamble the timing of involuntary enforcement.

SUMMER TIME!

Let's go over some ideas to make sure your Outdoor Events are maximizing your sustainability choices.

- Environmental - Try to use renewable power, or cleanER when that's not an option. Reduce trash onsite by encouraging water vessels be refilled and by getting outdoor friendly dish rentals (like Bold Reuse, R.World, even CORT.) If you use compostable be sure to check: is it commercial compost only? Do you have waste sorting? Do you have compost pickup?

- Social/Community - Do a review for accessibility based on physical access, safe resting places, and oases from the sunshine. Also, check out your subconscious bias. In America, we have a historic subconscious (from a very conscious) bias against black and other non-white people being allowed in outdoor spaces to have fun, practice getting ahead of that and reducing your biases in general.

- Personal Health/Well-Being - WATER, make sure people have access to it and there is enough. Bathrooms, now that the population is hydrated, be sure to have enough bathrooms easily accessible. SUNSCREEN, I go on a tangent here about how reef-safe sunscreen is important in all environments due to how all waterways eventually merge, we don't want aquatic-life killing chemicals in any part of the water system. Also all humans with skin need sunscreen and protection from UV, not just pale white people like me.

- Economic - Instead of recommending to make positive investments with your money this time, I remind you to NOT HARM your local economy in the area of your event. Be conscientious.
