• Walk, bike, use local public transport, or share your ride to reach the venue in Villejuif – the venue can easily be reached by metro or a short bus ride.

• Eat more sustainably – use this as an opportunity to try local cuisine with local seasonal ingredients.

• Plastic-free toiletries and reusable containers.

• Bring your own water bottle to refill with fountain water.

• Avoid taking goodies or bags that you don’t need.

• Go paperless for boarding.

• Bring a reusable shopping bag.

• Return your lanyard/badge after the event or bring your own lanyard if possible.

• Bring your own bag, pen and notebook.

• Pack a capsule wardrobe, if possible.

• Consider bringing your own reusable coffee mug/thermos.

• Consider bringing your own travel cutlery, straw, or beeswax food wrap.

• Provide feedback in the post-event survey on what was done well and what could be improved in terms of sustainability.

What We Are Doing
