Lambeth Council has released a new Green Events Guide advising event planners how they can be more eco-friendly.
The guide gives practical steps people should take to be mindful of their use of land, energy and disposal of waste.
The council has split the guide into seven sections including transport and food and drink, stating essential and desirable requirements events must follow.
These include ensuring 10% of the food and drink organisers buy must come from a sustainable source and making sure bins are easy to be spotted from any location at the event.
Councillor Rebecca Thackray for Herne Hill ward, welcomed the guide. She said that its creation was partially in the result of a culmination of worries that the bio-diversity of Lambeth was being effected.
“I hope it will give some concrete guidance, as people are often asking me what they can do to make their event more sustainable.”
However, events organiser Lionel Best, who runs an organisation for young people’s development in Lambeth, is unsure that the Green Events Guide presents reasonable aims.
“I think it’s a little bit restrictive in terms of trying to dictate how people should be holding their event.
“I would read through it to make sure I was complying, but it’s something I’m not really interested in.”
Lambeth Council says that failure to meet these requirements could mean that future event applications are affected.
