A healthy twist?

I just received the following message: Dear MUN Directors, As you know, this year's NCYMUN conference will be eco-friendly. In order to reduce waste and environmental impact,  we are asking you to bring your own water bottle or glass, which you will be able to refill during the 2 days of conference. Do not also hesitate to bring your own snack for the breaks (avoid disposable wrapping as much as possible )  Kind regards Pauline Head of Logistics -- So can you bring a bottle/mug for water... and snacks for break time? This is new information for me.. we can talk about it tomorrow!
