Reduce paper use at Fire Brigades Union (FBU) conference

Conference recalls the remarks made by the Chair of Standing Orders Committee at previous Conferences about the enormous amounts of paper that is used during Conference.

Conference believes it is our collective responsibility to reduce this in order to support the preservation of our natural environment and all those that inhabit it.

Conference instructs the Executive Council to consider all necessary steps and options to support this resolution including the use of our email system, tablets for Conference and live document sharing in order to ensure a significant reduction in the use of paper is achieved by the FBU when facilitating Conference.

Any final outcomes in ways to achieve this should be utilised across our Union at other meetings and events wherever this is possible.
