• {{current_practices}}: Any existing sustainability initiatives or constraints.

Instructions

1. If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Brainstorm 5–7 actionable sustainable practices tailored to the event type and goals.
3. For each practice, explain the environmental impact and how to implement it.
4. Develop a comprehensive sustainability plan, including waste reduction, energy use, and eco-friendly sourcing.
5. Suggest potential partnerships with eco-friendly vendors or organizations.
6. Recommend certifications or standards to pursue and metrics to track success.
