GIS to reduce plastic bottle use

The 2009 Golf Industry Show will feature hydration stations throughout the trade show floor.

These stations will allow attendees at the show, which takes place Feb. 5-7 in New Orleans, to pick up a reusable and refillable sports bottle and provide cold, clean drinking water for the bottles. In an effort to reduce plastic waste that comes from bottled water, attendees are encouraged to carry and drink from these bottles as they traverse the trade show floor. The sports bottles should also make for a useful souvenir from New Orleans.

The hydration stations are presented by a to-be-announced fungicide associated with www.agreenercourse.com that will be introduced at the show.

There will be three stations on the trade show floor, with one in the Buyer/Seller Marketplace and two on opposite ends of the trade show floor near the Networking Parks, visible from the spokes of the main aisle and from the track where people movers will transport attendees around the trade show floor. A fourth station will be located in the halls of the annual conferences beginning Feb. 2. The hydration stations are also identified on the trade show map.
