did the conference planning team consider providing attendees with a reusable beverage container?
i bring my own water bottle with me, but its easy to forget so it'd be cool to see a reminder go out with the rest of the info that's provided to attendees in advance.
According to the stats from the final session, attendees consumed a lot of coffee and other beverages during the conference, and since single-use cups were provided, I imagine a lot of waste was generated, although I think all the cups were made of paper or plants, so it's great that the materials were recyclable or degradable; however, did the conference planning team consider providing attendees with a reusable beverage container?
Of course, if a reusable cup/mug can't be made from recyclable or degradable materials, it might make more sense to keep using single-use cups from a sustainability perspective, although I can imagine there are other factors in play as well.
I would appreciate your consideration on this issue.
