The obvious question of any big event becomes, is it sustainable?
They say they have made every effort to reduce the event’s environmental impact by using an online viewing portal, which allows a worldwide audience to participate without incurring the carbon emissions associated with travel. They have implemented sustainable event standards which focus on transportation, waste diversion (through recycling and composting), sustainable procurement, production and materials, and green office techniques. By implementing those standards, 24 Hours of Reality says it is doing all that it can to reduce its overall carbon footprint.
