SUSTAINABILITY AT TEDxSAVANNAH

The TEDxSavannah Organizing Committee shares a deep commitment to sustainability, which is thoughtfully woven into our events.

We want to deepen our commitment to sustainability at TEDxSavannah and are honored to join forces with several local community partners for our 2025 event. We want to continue to identify creative ways to make TEDxSavannah as sustainable as possible and to model best practices.

TEDxSavannah 2025 will underscore our commitment to sustainability, featuring a number of strategic initiatives designed to reduce waste and minimize the event’s carbon footprint.

Sustainability highlights include:

• PLASTIC-FREE LANYARDS – TEDxSavannah 2025 lanyards will include paper name tags without plastic sleeves.
• COMPOSTING – Code of Return, a local composting company, will lead our composting efforts. We will also provide compostable, plant-based cups for attendees.
• TREE PLANTING – A public tree planting will take place at a future date in conjunction with Savannah Tree Foundation. TEDxSavannah attendees will be invited to participate.
• NATIVE PLANTS – Fruitful Futures, a local nonprofit organization focused on sustainability and urban agriculture, will provide native trees and shrubs for the TEDxSavannah stage and lobby.
• RECYCLING – Paper and plastic recycling will be available on-site throughout our TEDxSavannah event.

Special thanks to all of our sustainability partners.  

Kudos to TEDxSavannah Organizing Committee member Kelley Boyd for spearheading these important sustainability initiatives!
