We strive to make the festival as zero waste as possible. Steps we take to achieve this are:
— Solar power fulfills some of the electrical needs of the festival. — Recycling and composting bins are provided for patrons. — Patrons are encouraged to bring their own reusable containers and cutlery. — Food vendors are asked to use compostable/biodegradable materials. — Exhibitors are asked to use recyclable packaging. — Other recycling opportunities are provided at the event. |
