A Green Meeting
We continue to work on keeping our conference as green as possible. We try to purchase materials locally, if possible, and will be offering refillable water bottles in place of disposable bottled water and limiting excessive paper use by offering conference materials online and in a CD format for all attendees. The Hilton Minneapolis also has many green initiatives in place. Some of these include: body heat sensitive thermostats and door switches in guest rooms and meeting rooms; fluorescent light bulbs; water conserving fixtures in bathrooms; mattress covers made of bamboo fabric; donation to local shelters of used shampoo, conditioner, and lotion bottles; recycling throughout of paper, cans and bottles; food scraps or leftovers picked up by Second Harvest and processed into animal feed for local farmers.Public Transportation and Parking
