Vox Theatre Strives for Sustainability

Happy Earth Day! The annual event is celebrated around the world on April 22 to show unified support for environmental protection. Earth Day 2020 marks the 70th year of global demonstrations to enforce change in governmental and civic policies. 

Businesses large and small can take part in environmental protection and conservation: In Kansas City, curbside and business recycling helps divert roughly 45% of waste has from landfills. 

At the Vox Theatre Event Space, we take advantage of local programming business partnerships to curb our waste from both general operations and events. We go further and.purposefully build sustainable practices into our operations, as well as offer these opportunities to our guests.

1. We Recycle - our team participates in the city's single-stream recycling program, as well as glass recycling pickup from Glass Bandit. This service is extended to our event guests, and we monitor trash & recycling throughout the event duration. 

2. We Clean, Cleanly - our venue cleaning supplies are all Green Seal certified products; these products reduce both environmental risks and health risks to our guests. 

3. We Garden - we're in the midst of creating our own compost system, and use gardening practices in our private outdoor patio to help conserve water and keep the soil healthy. 

4. We Partner - when we are limited in expertise or lack resources, we partner with local companies to bring eco-friendly practices into the event space. For example, we now offer food scrap disposal and pickup courtesy of Compost Collective KC. 

We look forward to increasing our environmentally-conscious practices for our wedding, corporate, and private event partners. If environmental steward ship is important in your life, then make sure you vote with your dollar. Host your next event at the Vox Theatre Event Space, and we'll make sure nothing goes to waste.
