Green Information Booths: Most visitors to a festival or event want to help our environment. The trouble is that many don’t know what they can do “to do their part”. Yes there are plenty of programs on television and articles in magazines and newspapers, but most don’t reach out to the average person. Having a “Green Information Booth” that has real examples of recycling and protecting our environment is one way to help inform people about “Going Green”. I have seen a number of environmental booths at the festivals we have visited. Another unique way is to have “Green Ambassadors”. Two years ago Judi and I visited the Peterborough Festival of Trees. As we exited the festival we were greeted by “Green Ambassadors” and given literature about the festivals “Green Program”! The Ambassadors encouraged us to develop a “Green Program” for ourselves. This was suggested in a fun and thoughtful way!
Compost Bins: Many
venues and events are now composting as much of their waste as possible. I
heard that
Canvas
Tote Bags: With plastic bags now being discouraged in most
towns and cities, canvas tote bags have become a must. Many festivals and
events are jumping on the “Tote Bag”
bonanza by selling them to their visitors. Like the recyclable logo water
bottles, the logo tote bags are a great way to raise extra money while
promoting an event.
