Environmentally Friendly

Environmentally Friendly
Wayne Deering (BBA '73, Accountancy) is an event coordinator—in a big kind of way, and he's setting a great example for other people in similar shoes.

Deering is the organizer of Kalamazoo's annual Taste of Kalamazoo and Island Festivals, held at the Arcadia Creek Festival site.

This year, he's making a more focused effort to reduce the waste from those events that ends up in landfills. An article on Southwest Michigan's Second Wave Media website details Deering and his daughter's love for recycling, event coordination, and how they plan to put on a more sustainable, environmentally friendly festival.
