Happy Earth Day from Rent ECHO

We strive to maintain sustainable practices for all of our events, because we know the hospitality industry inherently creates a lot of waste. That is why we utilize reusable/compostable dinnerware, compost or consume leftover food, and focus on what’s available locally for all of our events. Fun fact: ECHO was Vermont’s first LEED-Certified Building! Not to mention with 100% of event revenue going back to science and stewardship, you can confidently know that an event at ECHO is a sustainable one.

Each event is an opportunity to inspire and engage guests in the joy of scientific discovery, wonder of Nature, and care of Lake Champlain.
