Watching Waste - Our Carbon Footprint!
Our event-day comes with its share of requisite waste — in the form of food/wine packaging, decorations and related event memorabilia, much of which would usually find its home in a landfill. Always foremost on our mind is the CWA's concern for the environment. Our team of CWA volunteers will reduce our Carbon Footprint with food/wine recovery, sharing event materials with other nonprofits and reusing previous year’s materials. Our chefs, whenever possible, prepare their foods with locally grown ingredients & sourced products. We promote the use and sharing of renewable energy on event day and always invite innovative ideas for further shrinking our carbon footprint. And you thought this was only about the fun… Cheers!
Please Ride Share / Please Drink Responsibly / Designated Drivers are Encouraged!
