The organizers of the AMCIS 2007 conference are taking the following steps to ensure and encourage environmentally sound practices.  The AMCIS 2007 conference will encourage recycling and reuse through:

• Plastic, refillable water bottles

• A reusable conference attendee bag

• Reusable badge holders

• Fewer pages in the conference program

• The use of post-recycled paper in the program guide, boxes, and materials used at the conference

The Keystone Conference Center management is also environmentally conscious.  The conference center is equipped with a number of environment-friendly programs and equipment: 

• The Keystone Conference Center is powered by 100% Renewable Wind Energy.

• The Keystone Conference Center has upgraded it's internal lighting system making it 100,000 kWh per year more efficient (equivalent to powering more than 100 homes for 1 year).

• The Keystone Conference Center has a recycling program that prevents plastics, tin and aluminum cans, glass, newspaper, office paper, and cardboard from entering the landfill.

• The Keystone Conference Center has a composting program that diverts over 12 tons of kitchen prep waste per year.

• By recycling the Keystone Conference Center diverted over 127 tons of material in 2006, a diversion rate of nearly 50%.

• The material recycled and composted by the Keystone Conference Center in 2006 is equivalent to: saving 18 households of energy for one year; preventing 106 trees from being cut-down and turned into paper products; preventing 138 tons of air emissions from being emitted into the atmosphere; taking 66 cars off the road for one year!
