Go Green!

THINK GLOBAL ACT LOCAL!

Driven by an ever-increasing desire to raise awareness of the Festival’s sustainability among the public and the local community,
starting with the 23rd edition the #GoGreen working group is active, born from the collaboration with the Museo Naturalistico di Pennabilli.

The goal is to monitor, activate, discuss and promote collective and individual actions
that are sustainable and ever closer to respect for the environment and the planet.

Help us meet the challenge, step by step, year by year!


Energy

We have been equipping the various stages with LED lighting since 2005 to reduce energy consumption and emissions.

Our electricity supplier uses a predominantly renewable energy mix.

We plan for the years 2025 – 2030 to build an energy community to be able to produce the energy needed for the Festival directly on the land where we live.

Mobility

Starting in 2019, we will favor Car sharing, to decrease transportation emissions and encourage sociability, first with a blackboard where we can exchange notes, now with a Telegram chat.

Are you coming by bike? To reward your green spirit, the tent spot for you is free and you also get a cold beer on arrival.

We want to decrease emissions from the artist shuttle service: from this year, thanks to the support of e-Ruggeri, we will have two electric cars for the periods of the Festival, which will allow us to halve emissions.

We avoid the use of cars or mopeds by resorting to pedal-assisted bicycles for the staff, thanks to the collaboration with Bike Park.

Waste

We upgrade year after year the roadside ecological islands created specifically for Festival days in collaboration with the utility of services. This year we built 40 new wooden waste bins, increasing by 16,000 liters the collection capacity of 3,000 kg of waste, with an eye to the future: we would like to reuse them for many years to come, thus lowering construction costs.

Starting in 2022, we will provide campers with bag kits to sort waste. If you have any doubts about how to deliver waste, you can ask our 20 volunteer Echoes.

We promote a vegetable based menu for the Staff canteen.

The festival bars do not sell bottled water; we have prevented 90,000 small bottles from being thrown in the trash. Also, if you are in possession of a water bottle or your own glass, you can refill them at the festival bars.

We are investing in a new pilot project: a compost toilet in collaboration with RUGOLO. Liquid and solid waste from our guests in the Festival camping area will be collected with Compost toilets.
