President-elect Obama will have the first eco-friendly inaugural celebration in American history. According to an ENS article, a DC event planning company called Event Emissary will host the Green Ball on January 17, 2009 at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium.
The co-founder said that so many thousands of people migrating to the area and all the celebrations would have a huge impact on our environment and their “goal is to create an unforgettable evening while treading lightly on the Earth.” Nice.
Every facet of The Green Ball is designed to reduce the impact on the environment. I guess so. From the food/beverages, to the waste like floral arrangements, lighting, to audio-visual productions, all will be used in a way that “minimizes environmental impact, and “[t]hat which cannot be reduced will be offset.” Interesting. It was explained, “”Energy usage will be measured closely and offset through the purchase of wind power credits. Transportation for deliveries to the event, as well as vendor and staff transportation will be offset through the purchase of carbon credits.”
The plan is to bring attention to the environment early on. Event Emissary hopes to lead by example. BRAVO!

AWESOME! I wish there were more events that paid attention to the environment.
You know I ran into some of this type of conservation at Michigan’s Pontiac Arts, Beats, and Eats. What looked like plastic wear was made out of sugar cane I believe, and the plates were made out of corn by products. People were stationed near the refuse cans so that everyone put their garbage in the right place to be recycled. I couldn’t tell the difference. It looked like a plastic plate and plastic forks and spoons, and cups to me. Ingenious.
