Recommendations to participants on "green behaviour"

In order to make our meeting as sustainable as possible, here are some practical advices on
"green behaviour", which you, the meeting participants, are kindly requested to respect:
- Print only what you need before travelling;
- Bring your own pen and paper to the meeting;
- Put your badge in the “Badge box” after the meeting;
- Use public transport (airport – hotel and vv.) as much as possible;
- Turn off any lights, TV, air conditioner or heater when you leave your hotel room for the day;
- If the hotel offers this service, take the energy-saving option of not having sheets and towels
changed every day. And make sure it is enforced. If not, talk to the hotel managers;
- Recycle your waste: bottles, cans, paper, etc. where this option exists.
