The Green Festival is a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America, celebrating what’s working in our communities — for people, business and the environment.
How we are trying to make this event "green":
Walking Our Green Talk! While many events and tradeshows are notoriously wasteful, Green Festival demonstrates an unmatched commitment to reducing its footprint. Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and meticulous sorting procedures to reuse, recycle and compost, 97% of all show waste is recovered, translating into only 3% of the waste going into landfills. More sustainable communities lead to a thriving planet. By offering positive options that make our world safer and cleaner, we can promote a better life for everyone. That’s why Green Festival, a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America, is striving to become a zero-waste event. Seven-Star, Inc., America’s green event experts, organizes and manages the landfill diversion, product conversion and carbon offsetting for each Green Festival. With the help of dedicated Green Festival volunteers and staff, Seven-Star, Inc. is able to divert record-breaking amounts of waste from ending up in landfills. Plus, Green Festival works with vendors and event suppliers that offer green alternatives. See more at Festival Greening: www.greenfestivals.org/about/greening-the-festivals/ |
