The Festival will feature lots of fun eco-activities that everybody can participate in. We have invited speakers to get visitors excited about changing the future of our planet and non-profit organizations to show people how they can get involved with a group of committed citizens!
We also will lead by example, making every effort to throw the greenest festival possible. Some of the things that we will do include:
--Biodiesel shuttle buses provided by Green Bus, LLC and Mountain Creek River Resort
--Zero-waste stations with recycling, composting and reusing barrels.
--Vendors will feature environmentally-friendly products. Food vendors have all agreed to use compostable containers or products made out of recycled materials. Custom Catering even serves their food on corn husks!
--Staging equipment will be run with alternative energy power sources. In 2009, two of three stages were powered by 100% biodiesel.
--We use eco-friendly cleaning products that are good for your health and the planet's in the showerhouses, restrooms and cabins.
--Flyers are printed on recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council with soy ink and biodegradable UV coating.
--Free water refill stations sponsored by Earthlust will eliminate the need for disposable bottles of water.
--Proceeds will be used to fund Green Mountain Sustainability Center projects that will decrease the carbon footprint of future events and daily life.
