Basic principles of waste reduction, water conservation and sustainable food and beverage practices will be supplemented with various more aggressive measures to suit levels of meeting planner interest. Some of the key principles include:

* Recycling stations and bins available in all meeting rooms.
* White boards instead of flip charts.
* Post-consumer recycled content paper for flip charts.
* Leftover conference supplies such as pens and paper donated or reused.
* Condiments offered in service vessels instead of individual packages.
* Local and in-season regional ingredients from sustainable suppliers and partners in menus.
* Bottled water sourced from within 750 miles of the hotel's location.
* Digital thermostats in meeting rooms.
* Organic food and beverage options as well as sustainable meat, fish, pork and chicken.
* Bio-based instead of plastic flatware and recyclable/biodegradable plates and cups.
* Alternative-fueled airport shuttles, free parking for hybrid vehicles and access to purchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs or green tags).
