In celebration for my anniversary of releasing the 1st episode as well as the monumental 50th episode I am sharing with you the parts of my recording that usually hit the "cutting room floor" all Renee chat, no Sustainability chat.

You may end up using this episode as a little mental break when you need to go on a short walk to talk to dogs, birds, squirrels and puppies.

In this episode I walk you through my experience at Seattle Coffee Festival and what they did to have GREAT SUCCESS at their sustainability initiative.

They were working on reducing landfill waste and aiming for a compostable waste festival. It went super well, hear what worked, what needs improvement for next time, and hopefully take away a better understanding of how to jump in and start making sustainability a priority at your next event (even if you don't get to Net Zero!)

ONE SMALL CHANGE TODAY

Behavioral Psychology (n) the study of the connection between the human mind and people's behavior.

Bystander Effect: a phenomenon in which people fail to offer needed help in emergencies, especially when other people are present in the same setting. Studies of this tendency, initially described in response to well-publicized failures of bystanders to render aid in emergencies, have identified a number of psychological and interpersonal processes that inhibit helping, including misinterpreting other people’s lack of response as an indication that help is not needed, confusion of responsibility, and diffusion of responsibility.

Buzzword: defined as "A buzzword is a word or phrase, new or already existing, that becomes popular for a period of time. Buzzwords often derive from technical terms yet often have much of the original technical meaning removed through fashionable use, being simply used to impress others."

If you listen to this podcast then for you Sustainability should NOT be a buzzword... But if you don't feel like you have the literacy and feel like you can't use the techincal terms with any comfort it's time to do a refresh.

Educating the world about what is sustainable, how to make more sustainable choices, and how to support real sustainable action is the 12th of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

In this episode I talk about the power of educating your attendees, clients, audience, and marketing about your sustainability goals, action steps, and expectations. I also challenge you to convert the style of some of your marketing communications from a promotional tone, to an educational tone.

Other tips this episode:

• Listen to the questions you hear onsite and from your clients - make an effort to answer them in your communications.
• Practice considering what, that might be obvious to you, you can share as education about sustainable choices.
• Remember that by educating your clients you are empowering them to educate their audience.
• Add education to all different types of communication.
• Vendors should educate each other - knowledge is power!
