WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
Involving local organizations is a great way to introduce new people who might not be familiar with your yacht club, sailing program or event and provides an opportunity for attendees and participants to connect with the greater community. Pulling together expertise already present in your community, whether it be your local aquarium, farmer’s market, waste management facility or art gallery, will help you achieve your sustainability goals.
HOW TO DO IT
- Invite local environmental groups to host an informational booth, activity or movie night at your regatta. Think aquariums or local conservation groups.
- If you are hosting a youth event, consider having environmental education activities. Check out our KELP (Kids Environmental Lesson Plans) program for ready-to-go games.
- Coordinate your composting efforts with a local facility or farm to collect your food scraps.
- Register your event and download the Clean Regattas Toolkit for more information!
