When Blue Thinks Green
Posidonia 2010 adopts high-tech green initiatives to fosterenvironmental awareness
A few days after the world celebrated the international day for the environment on
Saturday June 5, Posidonia 2010, the world’s largest international sea transportation
business event, opened its doors earlier this week with a series of innovative ‘green’
initiatives as part of the event’s corporate social responsibility mandate.
A lamppost generating electricity using wind and solar energy is among the highlights
of the organisers’ environmentally friendly approach which also includes recycling
waste bins for plastic, batteries and paper.
Posidonia exhibitors and visitors can also use dedicated smoking stations permeating
fresh air enabling non smokers to coexist with their nicotine-dependant colleagues in
the same space without risking exposure to any of the health threats associated with
passive smoking. Sponsored by Environmental Air of Sweden AB (EAS), the stations
are strategically scattered across the Hellenikon Exhibition Centre (HEC).
EAS is just one of many companies and organizations specializing in environmental
solutions and issues participating in Posidonia 2010. The event’s organizers have also
offered Greek environmental agency HELMEPA its own stand at the exhibition withoutany financial obligations.
“We are doing everything we can to promote environmental awareness among
members of the international maritime community who visit Greece to attend
Posidonia every two years and the adoption of groundbreaking innovations designed
to contribute to the preservation of the environment sits at the core of our CSR
strategy,” said Theodore Vokos on behalf of the event’s organizers.
