CONVENTION CENTER GOES GREEN Hosting a convention or meeting at the Anaheim Convention Center is now more environmentally and conservation friendly. Lighting in the center is supported by solar panels located on roof. In addition, light bulbs are energy efficient brands and temperatures in meeting rooms are individually computer controlled. The center recycles cardboard, glass and wood and sorts on-site refuse. They even use environmentally friendly cleaning products in place of chemical cleaners and are currently finding ways to minimize the impact of drainage and runoff to oceans and ground water. ACC uses biodegradable utensils, cups and serving plates, works with local/regional farms and uses cage-free poultry.
