EcoFestival


In order to realize a real EcoFestival it is necessary to carry out, gradually, concrete actions which can put into practice the concepts of Responsibility and Sustainability.

Posidonia Festival organization is developing some actions to reduce the Festival's impact, globally on the environment and locally. However we all have to be aware that even if the Festival organization is assuming its responsibilities towards the environment, this will be not be enough without the responsibility of all the organizations as well as all participants involved, that will be the unique responsibles for their actions.

In any case, this is a sign that not only another world is possible, it is now being built.

The actions for the 2011 edition are::

Rubbish collecting  and recycling

The rubbish has been collected in different containers to be later recycled as much as possible, in cooperation with the Municipality of  Carloforte .

 

Biodegradable Plastics

Posidonia Festival organization has been using biodegradable plastic for the catering services. These plastics are made of Mater-Bi.

 

Workshops, installations, activities

During the Posidonia Festival will take place workshps (for children and adults), installations and activities centered on eco-oriented themes as recycling, renewable energies (one led illumination system will be working with bicycle-generators), protection of the ecosystems. All the activities will be realized following the recycling and energy saving principles.

 

Collective transports

The Festival organization promotes the use of collective transports instead of private ones as public transport and car sharing.

CO2 compensation
