Bluegrass and Blues in the 'Burgh is committed to having an environmentally responsible event and we are working closely with our partners to plan and implement a festival/event which will reflect green event best practices.
The key actions being undertaken are:
Venue
The event/festival is taking place at Angel Mounds State Historic Site. We are working together to achieve the following environmental objectives:
Zero Waste. This will be done through the reduction of waste such as no single serving containers, recycling and reusing of paper, metal, plastic and glass.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives such as using water from the actual venue, and no bottled water being sold on the premises.
A Recycling Station will be set up at the event to ensure that attendees are encouraged to recycle
Distribution of Event Material
We are committed to using paperless technology as much as it is possible and this will include the distribution of speakers’ presentations and event information.
We encourage our sponsors to also distribute their promotional material in a paperless manner and/or on recycled paper where possible.
Staff, Delegates and Sponsors’ Transportation
Although we aim to make this event carbon neutral, we encourage all the participants to find the most environmentally friendly way to come to the venue. This may include taking public transportation, sharing car rides, taking a non-stop flight, coming by train or coach if time and distance allows, and why not walk or bike if nearby.
Please help us to make Bluegrass and Blues in the 'Burgh a truly environmentally responsible event. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions.
Have a wonderful time at Bluegrass and Blues in the 'Burgh, and love and respect our earth!
