Carbon-neutral initiatives enter the event space
Trend - Carbon neutral production–where the emissions produced by a company or activity are balanced out by an equal contribution to carbon-saving causes–is entering the event and travel space. The more casual environments where carbon-neutrality is being prioritized showcase a shift in the growth of these initiatives.
Insight - Consumers are becoming more mindful of their impact on the environment and both social and political discourse is dominated by the issue of climate change. As their knowledge of the issues grows, so does their understanding of practices that mitigate them. Though carbon-offsetting doesn't reduce personal impact, consumers are currently focusing more on how they can make overall changes to their routines and purchase decisions in a way that at the very least, doesn't intensify their contributions to climate change.
