Giant conventions in big cities will naturally have some pretty big footprints. There's really no avoiding that hard truth. At the same time, that's what makes it so important for the people in charge of big events to have good heads on shoulders that are willing to do their part to chip in for important causes and become greener and greener with each passing year as well.
