Best Practices Achieved

1. Eliminate Single-Use Water Bottles and Provide Water Refill Stations<br>• Columbia Yacht Club (COLYC) has a water refill station located on the rail deck and has proper signage to notify racers.
• Additionally, COLYC does not sell single-use water bottles, but instead sells aluminum water bottles with screw tops to allow for racers to reuse at our water refill station.

4. Skip Bags or Go Reusable<br>• If the regatta has a skipper bag, they are reusable. Other regattas forgo the skipper bag.
• All regattas are buffet style and served within the club, which does not require any bags for us to transport.

8. Post Educational and Reusable Signage<br>• COLYC had electric signs promoting the regatta and had signage posted throughout the regatta party on our sustainable efforts and promoting the green boater pledge.

10. Organize a Green Team<br>• At COLYC, the Conservation Committee is our designated team that promotes conservation on our waters and organizes volunteer events. At the regatta after party, we are stationed by 3 bins to separate trash, recyclables and cardboard waste.
