Greening ALA conferences… June 18, 2012

Please fill out this 3 question survey about greening ALA:

Go to form or fill out below:  (This survey idea came from the Librarians for Sustainability webinar series created by M. Charney, B FilarWilliams and  B Smith, hoping the new TFOE chairs and group would use to promote better sustainable practices at future ALA conferences.)

Also be sure to think about your personal green habits when conferencing. Here is a post I did about greening an ala conference in the past, a post about how green the AASHE conference was,  though its probably too late to book a flight – a post about green flying tips, and a greening conferences website recommended by Rebekkah Smith Aldrich (thx!)
