Protecting our shared environment and the planet is of fundamental importance to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) and its members. To support this common goal, the Association and the Inn at Loretto are working together to make sure that the 2010 Developments in Clean Water Law Seminar is an environmentally friendly experience by:

Meeting Materials

• NACWA has significantly reduced printed materials for conferences, and print only what is necessary to the success of the conference.

• Materials that are printed for our meetings are printed on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper that is made with a minimum of 10 % post consumer waste, and printed with soy based inks.

• NACWA lanyards are made from 100% post consumer plastic, mostly plastic bottles.

Recycling of Materials

• Recycling bins will be provided in meeting rooms and at breaks.
• Following the conclusion of the conference, be sure to stop by NACWA’s registration desk to drop off your badge and lanyard – NACWA strives to recycle as many meeting materials as possible.

Other NACWA Meeting Policies

• NACWA only offers tap water at our conferences, so that we can all enjoy the product of our member’s labors and reduce waste.
