SUSTAINABILITY @ WORLD YOGA FESTIVAL
As a festival, we are conscious of our carbon footprint and attempt to limit this in as many ways as possible. Here are some of the ways in which we do this.
Waste management
We use More Bins who collect all waste generated by the festival. They collect the rubbish which is sorted according to material on-site and then recycle and compost as much as possible so that nothing is wasted.
Water and plastic bottles
We encourage visitors to bring their own water bottle which can be re-filled at the free taps in the main arena and campsite.
Food & drink
We only allow 100% vegetarian food to be sold by caterers who have strong ethical values.
Camping
We use Camplight who provide pre-pitched tents for visitors to hire - their stock of tents tents have been recycled from abandoned camping gear at festival sites across the UK.
Travel
We use GoCarShare who enable visitors to request and advertise spare seats in cars that may be journeying to/from World Yoga Festival. We also operate a free minivan shuttle which runs to/from the local train station to encourage the use of public transport.
Infrastructure
We re-use infrastructure wherever possible, including carpets, décor and signage. Almost all is hired or stored locally wherever possible between uses.
