It’s Possible to Be Sustainable, Even Virtually! Here’s How

The Dawn of a New Day at Eventify

Picture this: It’s another bustling morning at Eventify. Sam, one of our star event planners, is sipping on a chai latte whilst scrolling through a sea of emails. Among them is a message from a client who’s keen on hosting a virtual conference but wants to make it as eco-friendly as possible. A challenge? Perhaps. But at Eventify, we love turning challenges into opportunities.

Why Virtual Sustainability Practices Matter

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about why this matters. You might think that virtual events are already sustainable by default. After all, there’s no physical venue, no waste from food and drinks, and no travel emissions. But hold your horses! The digital world has its own carbon footprint. Servers, data centers, and even the electricity your computer uses can add up. That’s why incorporating virtual sustainability practices is not just a trend; it’s a necessity.

The Eventify Approach to Green Virtual Meetings and Events

So, how do we at Eventify make your virtual events greener? First off, we use our Free Venue Finding Service to identify eco-friendly platforms that align with your sustainability goals. These platforms are designed to use less energy and produce fewer emissions.

Next, we dive into the Event Management aspect. We work with tech suppliers who are committed to sustainability in the virtual world. This includes everything from energy-efficient streaming to digital waste reduction strategies.

Eco-Friendly Virtual Solutions You Can Adopt

  1. Energy-Efficient Tech

Invest in energy-efficient tech gadgets. Look for ENERGY STAR labels when buying new equipment.

  1. Digital Decluttering

Too many unused files and apps can consume more energy. Make it a habit to declutter your digital workspace regularly.

  1. Smart Software Choices

Opt for software that has built-in eco-conscious remote work strategies. For example, some video conferencing tools have a ‘low power mode’.

  1. Limit Video Usage

Did you know that video streaming consumes more energy than audio? For internal meetings, consider switching off the video and go audio-only.

Sustainable Practices for Remote Work: The Eventify Way

When it comes to remote work, we don’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk. Our team members are encouraged to adopt green virtual office tips like using natural light instead of artificial lighting and setting computers to ‘sleep’ mode when not in use.

Virtual Environmental Impact Reduction: Beyond Work

The principles of environmentally friendly online work can extend beyond your 9-to-5. Think about your personal life. Streaming services, online shopping, and even social media scrolling have an environmental impact. Being mindful of these activities can contribute to a more sustainable digital footprint.

Your Turn to Make a Difference

So, there you have it! Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a lifestyle choice that extends into the virtual realm. Whether you’re planning a grand virtual event or just looking for ways to make your remote work more sustainable, Eventify has got you covered.
