Make Area Events More Green!
YOU can make a difference!
We're fortunate to live where we do on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. We have a responsibility to be good stewards of our land and waters when we're at home and on the go.
Each year countless regattas, festivals, races, and other special events are held in our area, creating a lot of waste. Event planners find that Greening an event is often difficult, confusing and expensive. With your help, Annapolis Green can change this. A team of willing event organizers, host sites, sponsors, and attendees can turn the tide away from waste.
 "Responsible Events & Festivals... Make the Right Call" (The Green REF) is a program we've designed to help area special events reduce waste and Go Green. The program includes not only collection and hauling of the waste but the very important public education component. From brightly branded waste bins, supplies, training, messaging and public outreach, we have helped make a huge difference in our community assisting event organizers, sites and attendees be more responsible while out having fun.
When we started this several years ago there were almost no recycling opportunities at special events.
 Our program is designed around a toolkit of resources to make the sustainability initiative as all-inclusive as possible. This is especially opportune as Maryland Senate Bill 781 takes effect on October 1, 2015, requiring organizers of all special events on public property, attended by 200 or more people, and providing food or drink, to have recycling containers located next to each provided trash can. Event organizers also must demonstrate a plan for collecting and recycling.
Above and beyond providing all the resources and contacts, we offer solutions for getting the job done.
Sponsorship opportunities exist for events that simply don't have a waste hauling in the budget.Annapolis Green owns and provides the receptacles (our attractive Eco-Stations) that carry sponsor branding. We also provide banners and other signage, as appropriate for the event, thanking the sponsor and congratulating the attendees for doing the right thing. In this way we connect companies with good work and give them credit for doing so.Depending on the type of event, we've customized the REF brand as follows:  |
"Red, Right, Recycle for Clean Water & a Healthy Bay" for waterside events
| |
"Run Responsibly" to promote cup-free foot races, introduced at last year's Across the Bay 10K
|  |  |
"Bay Responsible" for the Zero-Waste Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast
|
Sponsor Benefits
|
|
Homestead Gardens has generously provided Annapolis Green with the use of a trailer to store and transport our Eco-Stations!
We are carrying out this initiative under the "Keep Annapolis Beautiful" banner as an affiliate of the venerable Keep America Beautiful organization.

This type of sponsorship is absolutely unique. It offers terrific exposure along with "doing good" for our environment. Sponsors get double the promotion: From the main event and from Annapolis Green as we tap into our community of environmentalists, residents, government officials and business people with a sustainability values.
Some event planners may offer free tickets or other similar benefits to Greening Sponsors. Most offer sponsor logos and links on the event website and inclusion in social media, email blasts and advertising as well as mention in program booklets and other published materials.
As an event Greening Sponsor, not only will we promote your business on all Eco-Stations and banners at the event, we will also get the message out electronically through our website, email blasts, social media and weekly radio program.Bin Buy Bin--For those who cannot make a full sponsorship commitment (usually $1000-$2500, depending on this size of the event, duration, and services offered), we have instituted the "Bin Buy Bin" program so that Greening can be accomplished at an event one Eco-Station (and/or compost bin) at a time.
